You agree to let them inspect your property yearly to keep the bond in effect.
There are more than one product being used in Florida. One is a bait system developed at the University of Florida. A company using that system will, SHOULD, inspect the baits every year and it is supposed to last 5 years. Our company sprays, injects into the ground insecticide every year. Better system? Surely both claim what they use is the better system. Days of old, now outlawed, the product was clorodane and it was claimed to last forever.
In the gone past people would spray clorodane on their lawn. Long time ago. I never did that but I think it would kill most everything, ants, ticks, cinch bugs.
