Wood is far more ubiquitous than plastic materials in construction, for framing buildings plastic is virtually nonexistent, if they can eat petroleum products it could affect the water proofing of a building and some types of roofing.
Polymers are usually added to composite wood products and exterior building panels too, but I guess the question is whether this stuff will decay if it's kept dry. Wood usually breaks down faster when it's wet or infested with bugs.
