The typical termite treatment for new houses is to poison the soil under the house to prevent subterranean termites from taking residence under your house. If they come, they will never leave, but they mate every year and some will fly away and take residence in another house. In my opinion, these are the only type of termites you really need to be concerned about. There are other termites that can fly into your house and cause damage in your attic, but they are easier to detect than the subterranean termites. To protect your house, I would suggest maintaining a subterranean termite protection contract.
