Terminix worth it?
I live in Jacksonville, FL. My house is over 100 years old, I bought it in October last year. No active WDO on inspection, but signs of previous damage. I called Terminix out for a quote and I have since seen mixed reviews, but…
They quoted me $254 a month for 60 months to do subterranean and dry wood termite prevention (liquid and bait treatments), put down a vapor barrier in the crawlspace, treat the crawlspace and attic with borate liquid, clean the attic (major previous rat problem), remove and replace attic insulation, plus spray down an antique cabinet which has active termites. $254 is a lot of money!
I do think it’s clear that the treatments are needed, I’ve been down in the crawlspace and it is moist and there is some mold growing.
I’m just a single lady trying not to get bamboozled here. Any thoughts/comments/suggestions are much appreciated.
