Think It Over Before You Sign A Contract |
Cost of a Termite Treatment |
Just like any business a lot goes into a Termite Company's expenses. |
|
Cost of chemical or bait, |
|
Equipent, supplies and up keep, |
|
Labor and training, |
|
Sales commission, |
|
Business expenses, staff and office supplies, |
|
Insurances, |
|
Licenses and Taxes, |
|
I'm sure I've left somethings out, but you get the idea.. |
|
It usually cost less to treat your home than it does to paint it. |
Figure Your Cost For Termite Treatment |
Termite Companies use linear feet (Ln. Ft.), the distance in ft. around your home, for pricing. Here's is how to get a ball park price for a subterranean termite treatment for your home. |
|
Measure the distance in feet around the foundation of your home (to get the Ln. Ft. of the structure to be treated ) |
|
A good average price per Ln. ft. might be $4.00 to $7.50 per Ln. ft. |
|
Example:
200 Ln. ft. x $5.00 per Ln. ft. = $1000 for the treatment.
This is a ball park figure to help you understand how the pricing process works.
|
|
|
Ask the price per linear foot to treat your home. |
If You Do Not Have A Trusted Termite Company |
|
Get three written estimates on any termite work, ask for references. |
|
A good recommendation from a neighbor is usually the sign of a good solid Termite Company and a satisfied customer. |
|
Always ask for a written estimate on any work to be done.
So later you can make comparisons on treatment specs, guaranties, as well as price. |
|
Price can be a big factor but never shop on price alone! This is never the best idea. |
|
Don't be in a hurry. You have time to make a informed decision. |
