re: Termite contract price

Its basically termite "insurance". They lay down the chemicals and do a quick sweep, and they insure themselves if you get them. Most of the contracts should cover up to like $250,000 in termite damage. Which unless you are completely ignorant of a huge portion of your house, even if you get termites you will most likely catch them before they've done $10,000 in damage.

I would say $150/ year is very good. I pay twice that but I have a $250,000 "bond" or the insurance. Not sure if that is how it works everywhere though.
