As our termite and pest control inspector said, "it's not a matter of 'if' but 'when' somebody in a neighborhood gets termites, because they refuse to spend a couple of hundred dollars on termite protection. Then the neighbors will get them too if not protected. I have seen our service co. stand behind the termite damage warranty and it can cost $15-$20,000 to tear out walls and replace them if you don't have these inspections and warranty."

So if not for yourself, do it for your neighbors. When somebody sells their house, the last thing they need is to have everything come to a screeching halt because termites were found to have eaten away huge areas inside walls.
