A warranty is a guarantee of service, not a guarantee of the termite barrier. 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. 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 name, address and telephone number of the Structural Pest Control Board of Texas must appear on the face of each contract, warranty or guarantee issued by the pest control operator. When the termite treatment is completed the company must leave a durable sign on the hot water heater or electric meter or beneath the kitchen sink.
