| - Not even two months living at my new house I noticed the dreaded mud tube on multiple walls in a bedroom of my house. This was very shocking as the home was inspected for termites before the sale closed. I was watching the termites eat the drywall before my eyes and these mud tubes were getting bigger and bigger in more and more places very quickly.
The next morning I called three companies to come out that day for quotes. Terminex, Orkin, and House Doctors.
First to show, House Doctors! A gentleman named Chas showed up and walked through the entire home checking out termites. The one bedroom is the only room that showed an active sign and his plan of attack was Termidor around the entire perimeter of the house. He provided a price for a two and five year warranty and went on his way, no pressure at all.
Next to show was Terminex. A gentleman named Joe showed up, much more professional than house doctors with his uniform, shoe covers, truck and all. He walked around the whole house as-well and his treatment plan was Termidor ONLY in the area showing current activity, and then he would place bait stations around the perimeter around the house. You think that would be cheaper? Wrong. Terminex rang up right at 2 grand after a 10% discount for a 5 year warranty. Joe did not pressure me that hard however he did attempt to close the sale and said they could get started same day.
Lastly, Orkin showed professional as well. I forgot the gentleman's name but he did the most through check out of the tree (only person to check attic). He had the exact same treatment plan as House Doctors. Now for the sales pitch. Talk about high pressure. He sat me at my kitchen table and spent over an hour talking to me about how Orkin is the best. Be ready with for for Orkin. Orkin was the most expensive at $2100 with only a one year warranty.
Needless to say we went with House Doctors. Best most fair price, great people, and amazing service. After spending my whole day learning about Termites I did have some questions to ask them and the only Dave called me within minutes of receiving my email. He is super nice and would be more than happy to teach you anything you would like to know about Termites.
Call them out, you won't regret it.
