Default Flying Termites?

When we bought our (resale) home north of 466A three years ago we had Massey do the termite treatment, and the yearly follow up.

Today the Massey guy was doing our yearly inspection of the watering system and told us we were protected from the terrestrial termites, but not covered for the flying termites which is, of course, another treatment and another cost.

Turns out they couldn't do it anyway because we have foil "radiant barrier" in between the rafters.
I'm interested in how concerned my fellow TOTVers are about flying termites. According to his spiel it's becoming more of an issue with more and more digging up of the ground with the new developments etc etc.

Whatcha all think about this?
