It depends on the size of the house, but the bait system is usually more expensive than the perimeter soil chemical treatment. Also, the bait system requires more monitoring and possible retreatment. I prefer the chemical treatment over the bait system. Massey may also try to sell you an additional treatment and coverage for flying termites. But, I think the only type of protection you need is the standard subterranean termite contract. I would suggest that you call Dean's to get a second pricing option. Both are good companies. I would get the contract regardless of the type of house construction. Your house can be invaded by subterranean termites and cause damage for years before you even know they are there. It is also a good thing to have a termite contract in place when you sell your house. Just my opinion.
