There has been some talk about termites developing the ability to eat concrete.  Termites like a diet of dead plant material.  Wood is one of the staple dietary choices of the termite.  Termites can process this dead material and convert it into enough nutrients to sustain them. 

 

Concrete, however, is usually made out of granite or limestone, sand, water, and other chemicals.  There is nothing in this mixture that termites can use to sustain them.  Just ask a Seattle pest exterminator if you want to get the facts about termites in your area.
