Termite Control

Post by lukethedrifter »

Is it worth it? Seems awfully expensive. $660 up front + $99 every other month til the end of time.

I was thinking about doing something, since my next-door neighbor had termites. But that specific deal seems high.

I was given a quote from Orkin here for two different kinds of treatment: one that is more widespread and costs $1800 up front, and $260 per year afterwards to double-check (really, termite insurance, for all practical purposes), and a more economical treatment that was $800 up front/$180 each subsequent year.

So your quote seems too high to me. I'd get two or three more quotes.
