You can buy the same chemicals they use and do it yourself. There is very little wood in a block/stucco home, vinyl sided has more. As far as re-sale the buyer, if he chooses, could have a termite inspection just as they do up north. Many homeowners choose not to continue the warranty but that is totally up to the individual. In buying a new construction home, you also can feel safe not paying for title insurance which is expensive and TV will give you a proof of payment affidavit for all materials and labor performed on your home at no cost but you have to ask for it.
Good advice until you got to Title Insurance. To all- get all of the info before deciding against Title Insurance.
