Default Let's Talk Termites

OK,,,so I'm a new homeowner trying to get my ducks in a row. Had a couple of exterminators over to hear their termite plan.
I'm looking at the contract and contract includes “Subterranean Termites” and “Formosan Termites”, excludes "Drywood termites", "powederpost beetles" and "old house borers".

I'm embarrassed to admit that I have no idea if excluding those last three organisms puts me at great risk. Why would they exclude them? It seems to me that if it's a CYA clause, it must mean that they present a risk they can't deal with, so why should I pay money for them to kill the easy stuff and I might still get attacked by the hard to kill stuff.

If they aren't abundant, and don't pose a threat, why would they exclude them. Anybody out there researched this? I'd love some input.

Thanks
