If you stay with Massey you probably won't be charged an initial inspection fee.. If you switch companies, I think you'll find you'll be charged a one-time "first inspection" fee. One company even has a dog that sniffs out termites.

I think termite insurance is usually around $100 per year. It's my understanding that the companies don't do much to prevent termites. The yearly insurance will protect you for repairs in the unlikely event of termite attacks. I think it works like Auto Insurance.
