Next you will see the house next to it will be tented and so on. I had a saw horse outside my garage with two legs on the dirt and two on concrete. I picked it up one day to find the legs that were on the ground were hollow! I pushed to open an outside garage door and it fell out. The frame was hollowed out. Another time in my office, off garage, one time there was a parade of termites coming up out of the concrete floor through a hole they had made. My house was on a deep water canal and they had obviously been living in the wood pilings that support the house.
The geckos lined up to eat the termites, but couldn't keep up with them there were so many. I opened the outside door so they could get out. The exterminators arrived and drilled holes all over our floors and pumped nine million gallons (exaggerated) of poison down into the pilings to nourish them. If you want to watch for termites just put a board down on the dirt someplace around your house. If there are termites they will find it. I haven't seen a house tented in The Villages tented since I moved here in 2000. You will see their activity. Watch for sawdust. Leave a board on the ground near your house. Those options are FREE and very reliable.

I haven't seen a house tented, inside or outside The Villages since 2002. So what is your point?
