My house is not that old and I have a certificate saying the dirt under the slab was treated prior to pouring.

Should I really ever have to worry about termites as long as I can see the slab all around the house and there are no exterior dirt tunnels? House is all brick.

Under the slab should have been treated before the cement was placed, I think that barrier is good for 20 maybe 30 years but I may be wrong. I had a slab poured against my house and didn't get it treated, therefore I will have to drill holes in my concrete to place the product under the slab.

This plus keeping flowerbeds 18" to 24" off of the house with regular treatments. You'll be fine.
