Correct. But they pump chemicals around the outer edge of any hardscaping. When I have had termite treatments done on houses up north, they actually drilled holes through the concrete in the garage, sidewalks, and concrete steps. So, in The Villages the termite treatment is probably less effective. You are basically paying for a guarantee that they will retreat or repair damage as needed. However, the treatment in The Villages is less expensive than other areas of the country. When I had my house treated, I followed the Massey guy around, and he pumped chemicals in the soil every 16 inches where he could, but he did not drill through any concrete.
