Living in Floridia is a bug state just with the type of weather and with all the golf courses, I was told even more so for termites. It is a protection for your home. I had termites years ago up North and It cost me $$$$ to repair. You may not have termites but your neighbor may and they will travel to your house. I do have Massey for l2 years and have never been disappointed. PRofessional, in every way.
The system has not changed. I just had my house treated using the perimeter chemical injection system last year. They poison the soil all the way around your house. There is an option to use the bait system that you described, but nothing has changed. Both the chemical soil injection and the bait systems have been been available and used in The Villages for many years. In my opinion, the perimeter chemical system is a better and less expensive way to go. With the bait system, they need to visit your house periodically to maintain the system, and, if you change your landscaping, you may need to relocate the bait stations. With the chemical system, there is no maintenance, just annual termite inspections. Both systems are transferable to a new owner.
