Termite contracts on house, Good idea?

[rgG]

If you get one, be sure that it is a repair and retreat, not just a retreat warranty. We have the repair and retreat warranty and have had to use it twice. If you have a warranty, they come out at least once a year and inspect for damage. Since most termite damage is behind the walls or under the house, you can have extensive damage before you notice it. Having had some pretty bad damage, even with the house having been treated, I am glad to have the warranty. The warranty is only as good as the company issuing it, so be sure you are dealing with a reputable company and that you read the warranty very carefully to see what is and is not covered.
