The technicians assured me that the treatment will be effective for 5-8 years and even extended a warranty on the service. However, they advised me that I would be better off taking an annual maintenance plan to supplement the termite treatment.
This was baffling to me initially as the pest control Waxhaw, North Carolina company had just guaranteed the treatment! On further probing, I understood that the service program involved a certified annual inspection wherein a trained professional would inspect my house and property for signs of termite activity. This will also warn me against other types of pests invading my house. In case environmental conditions, complicated structural issues or other conducive situations happen to cause a termite re-infestation, the company will provide treatment free of cost as well as repair the damage caused to the property.
The annual fee works like an insurance against future termite control and is especially useful at the time of sale. Prospective buyers hesitate to purchase a house with known termite issues, but will find confidence in a service program that wards off treatment costs in the case of a re-infestation.
