Dean's also has a dog that can smell termites which they use when you first contact them. I felt Massey was a rip-off.

All in all, I'm not aware of anyone who has had termite problems around here,
For my house, Dean's annual price was two times the Massey price, and they only do a partial treatment every year, not the whole house. Massey treated the entire house. But, the main reason that I didn't use Dean's was because their price was only for one year with no long term warranty or price guarantee. So, they can raise the price or cancel the warranty every year. Massey provided a written warranty for 10 years. I just went over this in great detail with both companies last month and went with Massey.
