Your house should not have needed any treatment until it was 5 years old, unless they found termites, and then the treatment should have been free.
So they only treat where there’s no concrete or hardscaping of any kind? It’s still effective even if more than half the perimeter is hardscaping, not soil, and they can’t pump chemicals in those areas? Just curious.
