while the little bugs are boogying…
...we are contemplating the method to their demise.
We have three options.
1) 1 year contract, $125, using the same termiticide that was used on our house originally
2) 2 year contract, $400, using Termidor
3) 5 year contract, $825, using Termidor
Option 1, as already stated, will use the same stuff that was originally used on the house, and will basically be spot treatments. Guaranteed only 1 year, of course.
Option 2, they will drill around the perimeter of the house, exluding the garage, and do the soil treatments. Guaranteed for 2 years.
Option 3, they will drill around the perimeter of the house, including the garage, as well as the soil treatments. Guaranteed for 5 years.
We’re leaning toward option #3, as that will get the most bang for our buck, and the termiticide used on the house originally has already proven itself 3 times that it ain’t great. Our original contract was 5 years with that stuff (came with the new house, was treated when the slab was poured), and twice we had termites chomping away in our bay windows. This last time happened just as our contact had expired (on 09-09-04), and also just after our next door neighbors had their house treated. I can just pictures those little stinkers fleeing the scene… EEeeeEeeeEEE!!! Run away!! Run away!!!
Anyway.. The exterminator told us if we chose the 3rd option, we could break up the payment into three installments over a three month period. Still quite a chunk of change, but if that stuff works like it promises to, we won’t be seeing any of those little creepy crawlies for at least five years. I kind of like that idea.
Now if only there were a way to keep all the other creepy crawlies away for that long, I’d be a happy camper.
