I share a wall with my neighbor in a duet building. Just about 1 year ago my neightbor found drywood termites, both units were inspected and mine didn't have drywood termites. The neightbor and I went with terminix to do the fumigation (vikane gas) as one big structure. Paid per volume because our units are different sized.
I spent about $1100. Termite activity seemed to have stopped after the treatment but now I am received a renewal plan for $150. (was not a surprise as this price was listed in the original contract, and discussed verbally) I am thinking of renewing it at this year.. only because I am afraid the original problem might come back and it is costly.
The renewal covers re-treatment of drywood termites only and not other types, and repairs for new damage. But hey, it does not say they will always use fumigation as the treatment whenever there is drywood termites under the plan. I read the original paper work and it does not say it is automatic renewal.. and the $150 is not inflated until after 3 years. I know people have strong dislike with this company.. though the original service I received was decent, so what should I do?
At this stage I don't mind if the infestation does not come back and wasted $150, but I do care if something does not happen, the company give me run arounds. Any comments or experiences?
