Our current lawn and pest control company, Fertigator, has a termite plan that they haven’t tried to sell to us yet. Our home is almost 2 years old, and is tilt wall construction. It feels like a never ending barrage of chemical exposure since we moved here, so we have been hesitant to add termite treatment to the list.

Good question. The best treatment you can get in The Villages is to inject the chemicals into the closest non-concrete area and create a wider than optimal perimeter. In other areas of the country, where I have lived, the termite treatment involved drilling holes through the concrete, including inside the garage, and then filling the holes with a concrete patch. But, as long as you do proper inspections, termites can be found and killed.
