Here's my take after 18+ years living in Florida: Sand + Moisture + Warm = Termite Smorgasbord. Any property I have owned has always been treated and Bonded by reputable company. I have seen termite damage up close and personal in one rental home I bought and for my money the cost of a commercial contract is small potatoes compared top the risk.
Not a termite expert, but that's my take FWIW:
