No. The builder only treats the house for subterranean termites and the initial termite contract lasts 5 years. The builder hires either Massey or Deans to do the initial treatment. After that, the contract needs to be restarted with possible new treatments. The termite contractor will try to upsell you to a more expensive treatment that will include flying termites. In my opinion, the additional cost for the upsell is not worth the cost. Subterranean termites can do a lot of damage to your house before you even know they are there. But, other types of termites can be more easily detected and eradicated.
