Do we really need this? How often do the houses here get attacked by termites? Our home is stucco built with cinder block.
Are there other companies that offer this at a better price?
Good question redchariot ! What would termites destroy in your home. I also think they hang drywall on Aluminum framing. Personally I’ve always sprayed Ortho Bug Destroyer all around my home & even under sinks. Yea, I know some people will say they spray in wall somehow but I have Aluminum framing to. Not say you couldn’t get termites but after over 20 yrs. I haven’t been ate out of my house yet & even after having lived in over 15 new homes & 15 structure inspections I’ve had 1 inspector ever say I had termites or any other kind of bug. So use you gut feeling & do what you think & hope there’s NO cement steel eating termites out there! I’m just telling you what I think & my experiences.
