Termite Prevention?
HI, I recently purchased a home and noticed a few holes drilled into the parquet floors. I later read somewhere that small holes in wood floors are created to treat for termites. So, even though I haven't seen evidence or termites, should I have an exterminator treat the house? Should I just sprinkle some boric acid in the holes? Any advice is appreciated!

Holes drilled for termites would be in the basement floor and in the ground outside of your foundation, not in your wooden floors. Possibly someone drilled the holes for some kind of wiring.

Often you will see holes patched in wood floors when radiators are moved. Termite holes are made only in the basement floor.
