Question about termite costs

Seems high


I'd think it would be around 800-1000 then maybe another 100 per year of renewal

That's what I thought. Terminix worth a damn or any recommendations for Monroe?

Does that insure against damages if it gets infected?

Call around and tell them all you are getting quotes. Make sure you get one that has some type of insurance coverage for damages, they all pretty much do though.

No way I'd pay $1700 unless you have like a 5,000 sq ft house. It's usually like $800 the first year and $100-200 a year after that for quarterly checks.

I paid 600 plus 175 yearly renewal. The company uses the liquid treatment.

That centricon system never made sense to me. I don't want to lure termites to my house even if the bait kills them. The bait is mishandled or whatever and termites are just gonna move on to my house

Terminix is expensive but you are insuring your house against termites with them. You can get your house treated for less but most likely there won't be a guarantee.

What's the "guarantee?" THAT is where they getcha. Read THAT chlosely.

Yes, absurd. Get a quote from Salvant and you will be pleasantly surprised. Tell 'em Ray sent ya.

That's very high

Terminix for me was 1200 initial cost then 140/yr. We had termites in the house a few years back. They started eating through the drywall in the dining room which is how we discovered them. Haven't seen one since that first treatment back in 2014.

So who here has had damage while under contract, and the termite company paid for the damages?

I was about to buy a house 2 years ago until an inspection found termites. Owner had a termite contract and termite company didnt give them a dime for all the damage they had.
