If you can get Formosan coverage for a "reasonable" price, go for it....Terminex quoted a tremendously high price....a lawyer-friend of mine (everybodys got one or 2) said "Dont pay for more than subterannean coverage and if they deny based on Formosan, just pay me to sue them...They will trot out expert witness to the species and Ill trot out expert/expert witness who say its Sub and covered....Pay ME the money, not them !"

Michigan but someday in SoWal as well
I called Buzz Woodham Pest company after reading this thread to find out if I'm covered, and they said they'd look at my contract, call me back, and let me know. They called back within a few hours as promised and told me I was indeed covered for formosan termites. There may be different kinds of contracts, but they said mine covered them. Let's hope I never need to use the contract for these nasty termites (I had termites in a house in Michigan (we have plenty of them in our old neighborhood) and they sure ate through a lot of wood before we realized we had them. We had some work done on the house by a contractor, and she noticed them. They were actually dropping onto the basement floor from the ceiling beams :shock:, but we couldn't hear them crunching.

Are you covered for damage with buzz? Taking to many termite co's in fla i'm finding out that most termite companies are just covering to get rid of the termites and not fix the damage which is worthless.

hey Susan! Thanks for posting that link. That gives me some hope. I wonder if could just stick a couple of mushrooms in their nest and it take care of them?

Please if you have the time and interest, check out this fascinating youtube about a nontoxic natural method for termite protection/prevention. Not ready for market yet, but I want to be first in line when they start selling this stuff!

He has patents in place. I wonder how far out this is from being available. Thanks for sharing this Susan!

My husband is in Oregon this week. Maybe he can sneak out to an old growth forest and bring some home on his boot. :D..We have carpenter ants. grrr!
