I am interested in hearing about actual termite infestations.

I have never seen a house tented house in The Villages (unlike South Florida). I know lots pay for termite protection but, is it really needed if there are no infestations. Instead of an expensive subterranean plan sold by Massey or Dean, can one use the stakes sold at HD or Lowes instead?
A house here in Duval was tented last week. Owner said it was for termites.
