As a long-term resident would appreciate your opinion on this. Thanks

Anyone who has read my comments over the years regarding any type of pest control, knows I don't recommend ongoing pest control (contracts) treatments ever.
I only believe in treating a problem when you have one, and not using chemicals because you want to prevent a bug from entering your property.
Others may disagree, but ongoing treatments are simply indiscriminate use of chemicals when there is no apparent reason for doing that.

Most of these chemicals leave a residual poison in your home and yard and build up over time; they leech into the ground water and poison the environment.

If you have termite concerns, have a termite inspection every other year or so, but prepared for the company to sell you their service.
These pest control companies have put the fear of God into most Village residents, when in fact, their service is totally unnecessary.

If you care about the environment and future generations (your grandchildren), you will only use these chemicals when it is absolutely necessary and not as a preventive.
