Default Termite Inspection Guarantee

Finally decided to drop the ongoing termite warranty coverage. 19 years of no termites, no issues locally regarding termite infestation or damage. Supposedly not an issue at closings of sales. My decision. Not that I need the money but rather an opinion that it is really an ongoing scam against Villagers. Would be interesting to see costs incurred by providers verse income obtained.

Do you presently treat for termites?
Have you in the past?

If you ever seen a termite infested house, I think you would change your mind.

That's rather the point.

I filled in my elephant trap five years ago because I have never seen an elephant in The Villages, but if I did see an elephant-ravaged house I might dig it again. Until then...

We looked at 2 homes that hadn’t had termite applications over 5 years. First one didn’t have to bother to go inside, hundreds of termites were alive and active within the landscaping 2 feet from the house. Took a pic sent it to our inspector, replied find another house.

Other home had too many issues to bother with.
