No prob...

Quote 1: Chemical-
Service fee: $658
Twice a year inspection: $85 per
5 year retreatment

Quote 2: Bait-
Service fee: $508
Twice a year inspection: $150 per
"never needs retreatment"

That quote is from The Bug Man. I also got quotes from Orkin and Salvant. Orkin wanted $1300 with $150 annual. Salvant was more than that.

The guy with The Bug Man said that their prices are lower right now because they are getting a deal from Dow that is helping to subsidize the costs. True or not, the methods of service are similar with all three companies, so I'll go low.

do you have to digg a freakin 6in trench for termidor? or can you just pour it at the edge of the slab?

Yes.

If you only pour the product against a house it will not soak properly into the soil. Therefore, you will not have an adequate amount of product in certain areas, therefore limiting the amount of coverage/protection. Short answer, no because it won't work as good. It doesn't have to be a perfect 4" x 6" trench around your house. Just take a shovel and chop up the soil a few inches deep and you should be fine.

And with quote number two, they say it never needs treatment again but what the might be mentioning is that they won't be charging you for another treatment ever again. However, they are charging you another $1170 for the next 9 renewals after the initial treatment, which more than makes up for them not charging. So it breaks down to them charging an extra $1300 every 10 years (the life of Termidor) for them to "not treat again". That would be my thought process at least.
