We have not yet had any problems with termites in our cob buildings Central
Texas.  Fire ants love wet cob and will nest in it quickly.  When the cob
dries out, they lose interest and move on.  When we use roadbase (crushed
limestone fines) in our mix, the fire ants are not a problem as they don't
seem to like it much.
