If you've ever had termites in a home, you know how destructive they are. These small insects feed on cellulose within the wood, and they create burrows in walls, flooring, and foundations. Termite damage can require expensive repairs, which is why termite bonds are necessary for homeowners who deal with these pests regularly. Here's what you should know about these bonds and how you can benefit from them. 

What Are Termite Bonds?

They are a type of warranty between you and a pest control company that specializes in termites. It acts as a maintenance contract to give you peace of mind if termites reappear on the property after control services. The bond contains two crucial parts. The first is an agreement to conduct inspections for as long as the contract specifies, which typically happens annually or quarterly. The second part is an agreement to deliver termite control services during an infestation. Sometimes termite bonds require a fee upfront, with the inspections required annually.

What Are the Benefits of Termite Bonds?

Unfortunately, most homeowners insurance policies do not include termite repairs and treatment, which is why a termite bond is necessary. It protects your home if the insects reappear by giving you immediate access to solutions that prevent costly damages. The warranty is also useful for anyone buying or selling a house because it shows the other party that you care about the property. Potential home buyers are more attracted to a home with termite protection, and agents will have fewer problems selling the property, especially if it once had an infestation.
