Termite Control Recommendation (Huntsville, Colony: houses, new construction, pros and cons)

[skinem]

Looking for some references--

Bought a house a couple of years ago and it's time to treat for termites. House is ok so far and I want to keep it that way, but we have found some in the yard in downed branches, etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to a reputable company in the area? I know I should expect to pay about $1000 and want someone who'll do a good job and stand behind their work.

Also, are there any comments favoring the bait system versus the dig and trench or injection method? I understand the pros and cons of spray vs not spray, heck, I'd nuke 'em if I could! Again, just looking for the most effective method.

Thanks in advance for the help!

We use Cook's as recommended to us from two long time Huntsville residents.

Cook's Pest Control Online

Cook's uses the Sentricon system (the green tubes around the periphery of the structure).

I second the recommendation for Cook's Sentricon.

Using the bait system is a much safer (for the environment) route than spraying. If spraying, new construction should use a borate product... I don't know if they can use this on existing houses, but the borates will also retard mold.
