When purchasing a home, factoring in the cost of a termite warranty is crucial. Typically, these costs are held in escrow accounts and transferred from sellers to buyers during property transactions. Homeowners must be proactive in termite control through regular inspections and treatments to avoid costly future infestations. Understanding the effectiveness and costs of pressure-treated and borate-treated wood, termite baiting systems, and professional pest control services helps determine appropriate termite warranty expenses.
