That is a ripe environment for them. Termites ? Aggravating to no end when dealing with wood framing. No, we don't have those, but we do have carpenter ants and they are abundant in trees and also in homes if they find any wood with moisture, sometimes not. We also have carpenter bees, both leave piles of wood fines. What I found amazing is that the carpenter ants got into brand new creosote treated power line poles. They added a new circuit to an existing run of 30,000 volt lines and 115,000 volt lines and used the treated wood poles. There is a pile of sawdust from them and I wonder how long it will take for that pole to fail. Thankfully they are doubled up with X bracing, but the preservative did nothing to prevent them from making a nest, which is 12 years old now.
I don't like the high humidity and most years we get a share of it, but this year, from June to October it has been humid and sometimes just as much as where you are. Diffence is that early and late season, the sun is not as strong so the heat factor is not like it is I July when 90 deg F and 90% humidity. The winters here are tolerable, but you try and plan things to keep busy inside, and sure it's nice to have a roomy shop, the time passes and the seasons pass none too soon, so it is manageable. When bitter cold outside, then things are a bit cramped, but 30's and 40's are very tolerable if no wind and you are active outside.
