Termites

Happy 4th of July! This morning my husband & I woke up to find termites in our dining room table. We live in a condo on the 2nd story, so how did termites get into our place? Furthermore, how did the termites decide to pick one of our more expensive piece of furniture and not touch any of the IKEA stuff? We don't want to throw our dining table out since we used money from our wedding to pay for it, but how do we get rid of the termites? Any suggestions?
