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.
I have the same plan which I bought when I bought my home however the building site was treated before home was built. Now my CYV has concrete around 95% or more of the perimeter so where would they inject anything? It is a myth, likely pushed by the pest control companies, that in order to sell your home a termite bond is required.i have never head of this anywhere I lived except for The Villages. Thanks for your reply but I am still unconvinced.
