It's interesting that Florida dry rot affects some wooden frame houses and not others. It's also interesting that the dry rot affects spots of floors, and not the entire floor at one time. That suggests that dry rot may be caused by something local to the spot. It also suggests that not enough experimentation has been done on innoculating wood floors against rot. A good starting point would be to wash the surface with something like rubbing alcohol on a regular basis(with ventilation, of course) and find out whether that hinders or stops dry rot. Or, find a way to inject something like that right into the at risk wood.
