Reputable ones do not. Our home was internet-ready, since it wasn't a new build. I own my own modem/router so didn't need to wait for them to send me one or bring me one. We didn't need or want cable TV service or internet phone, just internet. There's an Xfinity store near here, so going there with proof of address was a piece of cake. It took - literally - a day. That evening we had service.

You might not be located next to a revolving door AirBnB. Until your next door neighbor dies/moves out, and the new owner decides to set up their home as a revolving door AirBnB after you've already moved in. True story.

Termites
 

I see more and more of my new neighbors, in Spanish Springs, with termite baits and I'm very familiar with Florida termites. I used to live in the Fort Lauderdale area. Let me tell you that the folks in that area and on the west coast know termites. When you see a tent going over a house termites live and die there. Next you will see the house next to it will be tented and so on. I had a saw horse outside my garage with two legs on the dirt and two on concrete. I picked it up one day to find the legs that were on the ground were hollow! I pushed to open an outside garage door and it fell out. The frame was hollowed out. Another time in my office, off garage, one time there was a parade of termites coming up out of the concrete floor through a hole they had made. My house was on a deep water canal and they had obviously been living in the wood pilings that support the house.
The geckos lined up to eat the termites, but couldn't keep up with them there were so many. I opened the outside door so they could get out. The exterminators arrived and drilled holes all over our floors and pumped nine million gallons (exaggerated) of poison down into the pilings to nourish them. If you want to watch for termites just put a board down on the dirt someplace around your house. If there are termites they will find it. I haven't seen a house tented in The Villages tented since I moved here in 2000. You will see their activity. Watch for sawdust. Leave a board on the ground near your house. Those options are FREE and very reliable.

I haven't seen a house tented, inside or outside The Villages since 2002. So what is your point?

Can new furniture (in and around TV) be bought & delivered within a week or two, or are those days gone.

TruGreen - be careful; great lawn but at what cost
 

Sept 2023 signed up with TruGreen for lawn fertilization for 1 year. Paid in advance $565. Some what expensive, but they did an excellent job in Atlanta Ga and they have improved my lawn in The Villages. I was having trouble with weeds - weeds are all gone and the grass is healthy. No complaints about the lawn. However, on May 21, 2024 I got charged for a service ($69). Huh? I thought I had a year of service from Sept 2023.

Upon further investigation I learned 2 types of services were included that exhausted my year's worth of treatments. These are: 1) Potash application not included with lawn fertilization and 2) Clinch bug application.

I was not informed that the potash was an extra service - I thought (assumed) potash/lime was part of a fertilization program. Secondly, every time the fertilization service was performed the tech (via email) would recommend additional services. I never requested more services. Chinch Bug / lawn pests are additional services.

Bottom line - Lawn looks great. Somewhat expensive. Informed in advance of a tech coming to do treatment. Tech announced themselves before performing treatment. Summary of application provided. All good. The not so good - continual upsell effort and the lack of full disclosure on the charges / services being performed. Communication with TruGreen could be improved. For me the true cost is too much - I canceled my account and will resort to treating the lawn myself.
