MDF contains formaldehyde and I was wondering if termites would avoid furniture, or fixtures that be made from MDF because of this fact.
Answers: As a issue of interest, not all MDF contains formaldehyde.
Termites tend to munch through the softest cellulose materials they find first. As an example:
Some termites got into my daughter's home. They skipped the sickly pine wall studs. They went for the white pine skylight trim and the paper that is to say on both sides of the drywall boards.
