Here's my story. We've been in our house for 8 years. At first we had a termite contract.
In reading the contract, it stated that even if termites were found, the company wouldn't be liable for any damage, they would just retreat.
That was costing $82 a year, and was going to go up. So after 2 years, I declined.
I've been told that if a house was treated right the first time, you'd never have problems with it. It's on a crawlspace.
So I'm in the process of saleing my dad's house. The company needs a termite/moisture letter.
This has got me thinking about what if I sold our house?
So I inquire about getting under a contract.
They quote me $998 for the booster treatment. and $98 yearly.
What a rip!
Hindsite, I really haven't saved any money because it will cost me $400 more to get under contract, if I just had stayed with the original. I guess you live and learn.
I still have a problem with what the new contract company said. They said if termites are found, they will come and treat?
I thought that is what I'm paying them for? Not to have termites?
Anyway. I haven't signed any new contracts. I will call around first. I will look for a cheaper scam artist! LoL
Anybody have any advise?
Does one have to have a termite contract when a house sales? Or can I just hire a company and they would come out and give me a termite/moisture letter?
I've been using some industrial spray that I get from a turf and garden store. Inside and out. It seems to work just fine. On the bottle it is used in schools, and other places?
