It's $125 every year because we have them for Pest Control also. Their usual charge is $150 per year.

They also stated attic treatments weren't necessary here in central Florida away from coastal areas. And lastly, they have specially trained termite seeking dogs to inspect your home. The dogs sniff around the whole house, and because the dogs aren't in it for the money, I trust them!

Glad we switched.
When I came here, my house was with Massey. Until the year expired, I looked over the offerings and immediately switched to Dean's. (At one time they advertised on TOTV, and Dean or a company rep would take the time to make himself available through the website to answer questions. I pay the $150 because I don't have pest control (or pests, by and large), in contrast to Massey who wanted $125. I guess I came after they changed their rates.

The OP might want to consider a switch to Dean's. If the pup finds the house clean, Dean's immediately begins annual treatment, not just inspection, and there is never a huge re-treatment bill somewhere down the pike. And the pups are cute as heck, for what that's worth!
