That doesn't sound correct. Typically, the builder treats the soil under the house, and provdes the owner with a 5-year termite contract, that must be renewed every year for about $100. Massey is one of the primary contractors for this work. I had a 5-year Massey contract, and when it expired, they retreated the entire house and provided a 10-year renewable contract. Note that the Massey contract is not a bond. They self insure for any termite damage.
