More foundation edge exposure
Corner rooms sit at the intersection of two external walls, meaning more of the foundation perimeter is directly adjacent to that room compared to an interior room — simply more edge exposure for termites to find an entry point.
Drainage and moisture patterns
Corners are also often where rainwater runoff from two roof or wall sections converges, which can mean more sustained soil moisture right at that specific foundation point compared to walls with a single, more even drainage path.
Construction joints at corners
Building corners frequently have more construction joints and connection points between foundation sections, which (as with any joint) can develop small gaps over time that provide easier termite access than a continuous wall run.
What this means for your inspection routine
If you are checking your own property periodically, pay particular attention to corner areas both inside and outside — they are a statistically more common starting point and worth checking first, even if you only have time for a quick look.
