FAQ: Free
Termite Service Estimates
By: Robert Batman
WHAT IS A FREE TERMITE SERVICE ESTIMATE?
A FREE Termite Service Estimate is simply a free price estimate (some
people refer to these as bids) to perform termite service (either a soil
treatment or a baiting service, or a combination of both). Do not confuse
a Free Termite Service Estimate with an Inspection: it's not an Inspection.
Inspections cost money and are a professional service performed by highly
trained individuals: beware of Free Inspections!
WHAT DOES A FREE TERMITE SERVICE ESTIMATE CONSIST OF?
You contact a Licensed Pest Control Company and ask if they provide FREE
Termite Service Estimates. If they say "Yes," schedule with them for a
FREE Termite Service Estimate. The Pest Control Company will send someone
to your house who will give you (leave with you) a price estimate (bid)
to perform the extent of treatment/service you intend to authorize. In
most cases they will need to check out interior as well as exterior treatment
areas, so someone will need to be there to let them in. Our Estimates
(Price Estimates) are usually a firm Bid and the price(s) is (are) good
for 90 days.
DO YOU NEED A TERMITE TREATMENT?
If you need to have a termite treatment, the first thing you should decide
is what type termite service you want; either a soil treatment or a baiting
service, or combination of both. See our FAQs on Termite Soil Treatment
and Termite Baiting Service. We (Best) offer FREE Termite Service Estimates
(see above).
SELLERS: ARE YOU SELLING YOUR HOUSE? DO YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR A
TERMITE TREATMENT AS A RESULT OF A REQUIRED REAL ESTATE TERMITE OR WOOD-DESTROYING
INSECT INSPECTION?
If you are paying for the termite treatment/service, you can get a Termite
Service Estimate from more than one Licensed Pest Control Service Company:
simply pick the one you want.
Point Of Information: Seller Beware. Termite
Soil Treatments and/or Termite Baiting Services performed for Real Estate
Transactions, in our operational area, must, in most cases, conform to
certain state standards: spot and/or partial treatments may not
meet state standards. Since the treating company can only perform
the extent of treatment/service you authorize, you, the Seller, may be
liable for any shortcomings. You should consult an attorney regarding
your state's consumer protection act/law and the contractual obligations
of your transaction before authorizing only a spot or partial treatment/service.
