Does anyone think this is a good idea or do you use someone else to protect you from termites? If someone else, can you give me an idea of the cost?
Pros and cons, please.

I recently received a renewal letter from Massey and since my house is only two years old and they wanted a $150 fee to renew, I decided to check with my pest service on what they had to offer. My Pest service is Village Pest, I just got done with a whole inspection and everything checked out fine. Their program is $150 for homes and $140 for Villas. They will treat the home each year and this treatment is included with the yearly payment. You DO NOT have a large retreat bill at the end of 5 years due to the fact that they treat every year for the $150 amount. They have done a great job on my insect control and had no problem signing with them for Termites. They carry a one million dollar policy with an insurance company that will send me a binder. There is no deductible and they also cover carpenter ants and Formossan Termites. Village Pest 352 245-4522
