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.
Do NOT buy a termite treatment program!!! It is totally unnecessary for your house which by most standards is new.

If you have a concern, have an inspection done but do NOT let anyone sell you a preventative treatment or a contract of any type.
Please do not poison the ground any more than it already has been done by others.
If you have a problem, treat the issue but do not do any type of ongoing treatment.
PLEASE!
