Guarantees that vaguely refer to termite control are unacceptable. Determine whether a yearly charge will be levied during the warranty period, or whether these charges are included in the initial price. Find out how much it will cost to extend the warranty for additional years and ask how long it can be extended. Remember that a warranty is no better than the person or firm who gives it to you. A warranty is not evidence that a firm is reliable.
Most fraudulent operators use a showy contract and warranty as part of their sales promotion.
Make sure you get copies of the contract and warranty for your records. You will probably be asked to sign a work order or contract when you engage a firm. Understand clearly what obligations you are assuming and what you will get in return. As required by law, the contract must include the terms and conditions of such agreements in writing and includes but is not limited to warranties or guarantees for structural pest control applications. The contract shall also include a statement, plat, or diagram showing all locations of visible termites and termite damaged materials that are observed and how the application was performed.
