Thank you
I have a block and stucco house. Massey wanted to provide plenty of FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt), to pay $100+/year for termite protection. Yeah, its pocket change, do the math for Massey. They say I have wood trim and cabinets that termites can eat. Sure anything is possible in life, but i can't imagine this is >1% chance of happening. If it does, I'll fix the damage myself, it's not like the house will fall down.

I think the risks are very much overstated by those that have easy money to gain.
