When I first came to TV, I was pressured and pressured to buy a full termite-control package. I resisted and resisted, believing that termites wouldn't come to my block/stucco house. Eventually, I succumbed to the pressure, despite all my better instincts.
After a number of discussions with friends who had been in Florida for a number of years, I was persuaded that a modest program of protection - "because they can and will get to your rafters and roof" - was advisable. So, now I carry much less "protection" than was almost forced upon me originally! I get some arm-twisting every year at renewal, but until I actually see the critters in my home, I don't fall for it!
Extensive termite control programs are a money-making "scam" around here, I am sure!
