Looking for termite services
 
I guess I need to update my termite services. I've had one company come in and tell me its like $900.00 bucks to install the units around my house and then almost $160.00 per year after to keep the policy and units up to date. Does anyone recommend a company that does this type of services as I would like to get a few different suggestions and quotes?

I live in courtyard villa....

thanks

Be careful all they do is install the baited traps then check for activity it is not an insurance policy. My neighbors on each side of us signed up for the service while we were away last year.
Amazon provides the same traps 10 for less than $150. Of course, you would need to install and monitor them.

But every year they will charge over a hundred dollars to check for termites in order to keep the warranty. If they have a guarantee against termite damage why do we have to pay each year to keep the guarantee?

Far as I can tell they are all ripoffs

Deans did the original treatment when the house was built. We called when we bought and it was $95 a year for the insurance policy stating we would not have termites. If we ever do then they pay. We also use Deans for all lawn spraying and bushes for bugs etc.

If the treatment works and there is a warranty why do people have to pay for insurance?

What do you use?

I have Massey on a courtyard villa. The initial treatment was $400 and about $90 per year for a 10 year contract. This is for the chemical injection around the house. No bait traps. I didn't go with Dean's because they would only provide a year by year contract with no renewal guarantee, but Massey gave me a 10 year contract.

Call Florida Pest. They did injection protection in the ground around my CYV. There are two types of termites in this area, ground and flying.

Dean's
 
BE CAREFUL of DEAN'S -- when I was a snow bird they quit mowing my lawn - neighbor sent me pics of grass -- called DEan's and they tried to LIE THEIR WAY out of it - but I had them by the - - - - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

Don’t termites destroy wood?
Are you not on a concrete slab?

jimbo2012 09-01-2022 06:08 AM

Has anyone heard of a home being infested with termites.

Or seen evidence of them?

Save your money, no termite bond needed. I’ve lived in Florida all my life. Trust me your wasting your money to buy termite bonds in the villages. If this was new construction, that’s different for a few years.

Call Arrow 352-689-0050 They are the cheapest for the traps.
