What is a Termite Warranty?

In West Florida, termites, especially invasive subterranean termites are on the rise and can cause more damage in less time than native termites. Termites can cause cosmetic and structural damage that may compromise the value of your home or business. Termite damage can be expensive to repair so most home and business owners want to proactively protect their properties from termite activity.

Most home and business owner insurance policies do not cover termite damage and/or repair. A termite warranty acts as an insurance policy that protects your home or business from termites. Because termite treatments can be expensive, it is important to protect your property from termites. Issued by pest control companies, such as Pestwise, most termite warranties are issued after a home is built and treated for termite prevention or after treatment for termites is completed.

It’s also important to understand what your warranty includes. Issued annually, some termite warranties cover the cost of termite treatment, and some cover the cost of termite treatment and damage repair, as well. West Florida termite warranties are renewable each year and transferable when you sell your home or business to a new owner.
