When I bought my home it did not have a termite bond and protection plan in place. Inspector found no evidence of termites. I then had a termite protection company do the major injection around perimeter of home which cost a few hundred and includes a termite damage insurance bond. Then every year I pay about $100 for a perimeter spraying to keep the insurance bond in place. The main reason I do this is in case I want to sell the home I can show buyer that a termite bond is in place. Massey is not scamming you, it is normal that every 8-10 years the major perimeter injection must be done if you want to maintain the insurance bond. You don't have to do it, but its good to have it if you decide to sell.
