Pest Control-In Wall and Termites
Is it worth it (300 or so a year) to get the In Wall Pest Control System to control bugs? I don't think it works for termites and the same company quoted an additional 300 or so for termites! Do I need both bug and termite protection? Any advice would be most helpful!
Thanks!

We have been with Orkin for 9 years and have a 99% bug free home.
We also use them for termite coverage. A neighbor just laughed and laughed when I told him we signed up with Orkin, that first installation was expensive but incl treatment and a 100% home market value warranty against termite damage.
I had the last laugh since the same neighbor had nearly $15K in termite damage last spring. Choose wisely. Not affiliated with Orkin other than a satisfied customer.

I saw your post, but I didn't know how to respond...not sure it's worth it or not since I haven't heard anything about it good or bad. We pay Terminix to come out quarterly to spray (outside), and the termite bond company once a year. If we start seeing bugs in the house, Terminix will come out between quarterly visits to spray. I like the idea better of having someone come out and spray rather than having stuff in my walls. But that's just me...

By in wall I guess you mean the 'tubes in the wall' system. That sounds about right. It goes for 45$ to 65$ here per svc. which is every other month. Make sure they treat the outside as well........The termite seems high though.....I'd make sure you're getting a 'repair' guarentee and not just a re treat contract. Maybe your neck of the woods is more expensive but in Ocala you can get a 250,000.$ repair guranetee for about 150.00 per year.
I'll be posting an article on this subject over the wknd.-Hope it answers some questions for you.

This subject should really be of importance to homeowners in most of the U.S. If it gets any interest, I'll be interested too.
