Truthfully, since our house is almost new, there is nothing for me to do at the present time. However, in a previous house that I lived in for over ten years (and it was at least 20 years old when I bought it) I never had termites. I did not have an annual inspection but was very aware of keeping my eyes open for signs of termites.

As you may have guessed from my comments, I am not an advocate of indiscriminate treatments or spraying. Unfortunately, those services are rampant within the Villages. For the life of me I don't know why everyone has gotten on this bandwagon as opposed to treating a problem when and if it occurs. They would be saving themselves some money and would not be contaminating the environment.
