Plus our house interior is all metal framing, with non-wood siding, but we do have wood framing in the exterior walls. What are the risks of not having this done. I lived in the woods of Virginia for 20 years and only had termite control out when we built the house. Any thoughts and reasons to have this service would be appreciated.

We came from Virginia 8 years ago where we had worries about termites. When we moved here, I looked into the various type of insects that could damage our home. One major issue was termite damage and at that time, there was an influx of a new variety of termite. We have for 7 years had a contract to keep our home as free of termites and other infestations. We have never been sorry to have this coverage. Living in a somewhat tropical area, we are subject to various infestations and I would rather be safe than sorry.
