If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

I am not aware of any statute or case that has said that a neighbor would be responsible. More importantly, how could you prove that the termites from a neighbor's home was the cause of termites in your home? The two infestations could be totally unrelated or in the alternative, the termites in your home could have infested the neighbors. It would be all but impossible to prove.

Yes, but your burden of proof will be almost impossible to meet.
