Tenting a house is not a treatment for subterranean termites. Subterranean termites are eliminated by drilling holes around the perimeter of the house and pumping chemicals into the soil. Tenting is a treatment process for an entirely different type of termite or other pests. In the South, subterranean termites are a problem. But, if you want to save money, then it is your decision and right to refuse to pay for the treatment and just take your chances.
