My motorcycle was made in 2000 and a previous owner added a headlight flasher module at some point. Some rodent crawled all the way up inside the bike and into the nose cone just to gnaw on the flasher wires. I have looked around and inside many places over the years but have never found any other bite marks.
Those are costs to handle infestation (but not including repair). I’m talking about the measures we take to prevent it in the first place that are already part of standard construction costs. Keep wood dry, pressure treat wood that can’t be kept dry/off the ground. So while sugarcrete might not be the 1:1 replacement for concrete, termites are not going to be an insurmountable task to mitigate
