The more I read the more costs pop up, I see surge protectors, lightning rods, lawn care, cricket moles the list goes on

Now termites this one looks like another contractors gold mine.

The sq footage is not what it goes by it's the linear footage of the slabs perimeter. The retail cost of the chemicals (yes you can buy them) is about $150, so a contractor gets them for less.

The product clearly states 10 years before re-treatment, so what's this 5 year anniversary thing.

$500 to spray the perimeter?? then they want $100-120 per year to take a look. How long does that take?

It sounds like a higher cost than it should be to have it done.

What if you don't treat, can you rely on insurance?

Also I read that on new construction, after the slab is poured that is a perfect time to treat.

Can't wait to see the next issue that pops up here
