Just bought a home a year ago and found some termites around a post of our deck. The thing is we hired a company to do some treatment last year around the foundation of the house (not the deck). This treatment is supposed to last 3-5 years. Should I be concerned that I found these termites 6 feet from the foundation?

It seems pretty common to have termites in this area, but without blowing a lot of money on professional services what do you recommend in these situations. Also spotted a few big black ants in the house today.

Any warranty on that treatment?

The warranty is only for the foundation
Not the deck
