There is no such thing of highrise of high floor, then won't face termite problem.

Termites need to feed on something, they go to where they can find good 'foods' and shelter place.

Bad Wood species + good moisture.

Termite like certain wood and dislike some others, as far as I had experience.

You can place 2 species wood side by side.
One can infested with termite, the other one can be still intact.
