Termite bonds and warranties
A termite bond is an ongoing agreement with a pest control company, usually renewed each year, that covers inspections and re-treatment, and sometimes repair of new damage. Read what it covers and whether it transfers when you sell.
Get more than one inspection
Treatment recommendations vary between companies. Get at least two inspections, ask for a diagram of where treatment will go, and compare warranty terms, not just price.
