[Pilsy]

Tell me stories of successful termite treatment/extermination/massacres or whatever it's called when you get rid of them.

We had to treat this house when we bought it. NBD. If you live in a termite prone area, it comes up all the time.

I think we paid $1700 to treat it ( yuck) and it's $75-$100 for the annual reinspect. As long as we have it reinspected yearly, if it gets infested again they treat it for free. Get a few quotes.

We just dealt with this. We had our house tented and fumigated last month for termites. It was $1000 and we'll pay $125 annually for the 5 year warranty/re inspection. If termites come back in the next 5 years they'll tent again at no cost.

We had to be out of the house for about 48 hours and removed all food items and anything organic that would go in your month though, which was a bit of a pain. And my DH is a little overly cautious about chemicals so we removed a lot of stuff, even though the vikane gas they use doesn't leave any residue. Definitively get several quotes though, we ended up getting 5. Also, some companies do it themselves and others contract it out. We found the ones that do it themselves were less expensive.

Thank you both so much!
