Yeah Termites aren't going to eat healthy plant matter. I killed termites for a big company for a few years, but its been awhile. If I remember correctly, they are attracted to their food by a certain kind of fungus that grows on rotting wood. They are nature's clean up crew. If they ate healthy wood, we'd all be in trouble 
I wouldnt use any chemicals to treat for the termites, they were just there to clean up the decaying stalk. Figure out what caused the initial wound, and treat for that.

i truly didn't know jack squat about termites, only bit i know now is what i just learned from you guys in this thread. Thank you so much for that. My theory (since all other neighboring plants are still healthy), is that the dirt piled too high up stalk caused rot, and the fungus got hold...termites picked up on the fungus and that brought them in. still dont know what the actual death blow to the plant wasYeah Termites aren't going to eat healthy plant matter.
