re: Home termite protection

I can argue with that. Just keep up with it and I think you are good. Do a drench around your perimeter every 5 years (even if they say its good for 10).

As I said, I've had extensive encounters with those critters. My pest control company refused to pay due to the crack in the slab (could not see it). But, they missed a tell tale sign that termites were coming into the house. Long story short, I was gonna to small claims court on them, so they paid for materials and I fixed everything myself.

Even when you are hit with an infestation, it's not like your house is about to fall.....at least the subterranean variety. Normally, its a little sheet rock work or some stud repair. Termites will let you know when they have entered the residence when they swarm.
