Like Buggyone said -- this is Florida. Besides us -- termites like to live here. At some point, we all will have termites; that is fact of life, like it or not.

Generally speaking, you won't see any sign of termites for many years. Yes -- of course, there are always exceptions.

However the price you will pay for inspections and /or what you think might be a preventative, is probably much more than it would cost to treat the problem when it finally happens.
