Why you need a Phoenix termite warranty

Termites are a fact of life for Arizona property owners. That’s exactly why termite companies are abundant here. Unfortunately, pest control companies come and go. When they “go,” they may take your trust – and your investment in their Phoenix termite warranty – with them.

A 10-Year Phoenix Termite Warranty Should Be Valid…Ten Years

The headline read “Valley Residents Complain of Worthless Warranty.” Homeowners paid almost a thousand dollars apiece for a 10-year termite warranty effective through 2025.

In 2018, customers received a letter from a company that said it bought out the termite extermination company. The letter included an invoice for $125 to renew the 10-year termite protection. Property owners wondered why they needed to “renew” a valid 10-year contract after only three years’ coverage.

When one homeowner called, the company representative told her they purchased the company’s assets, not their liabilities. Liabilities?

Why You Need a Termite Warranty

If you’re buying a house with a termite warranty, be sure to examine the warranty and the company with which it’s valid before you buy. You don’t want a worthless warranty.

Prevention is the main reason you need a termite warranty. Unknown structural damage can occur before you discover termites. Your warranty guarantees you’ll get a thorough termite inspection before extensive damage occurs.

What To Look For in a Termite Warranty

No termite treatment is permanent. Most pest management solutions are never permanent. If any extermination company says otherwise, walk away. (The exception is Budget Brothers Scorpion Repel. This one-time treatment can rid your home of scorpions forever!)

If you live in Florida or Arizona’s Valley, you need a Phoenix termite warranty. Phoenix is among the top 10 cities for termite infestations. If you are seeking coverage or buying a house with a termite warranty
