Florida Termite Contract Have New Rules

State's Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services announced new rules for termite contracts which were effective June 1, 2006 which holds pest control companies more accountable and avoid loop holes. 50% of homes have termite protection in other words termite insurance in which they inspect your home usually annually or upon request and treat the problem if needed. Changes that in effect are contracts are specifiying the type of termite they cover, redo treatments to be done no longer than 90 days, and specifiying where treatment is a spot or full treatment. Now Florida home buyers will know if the home was "treated" whether spot of full treatment occurred. In addition, companies can no longer deny repair of structural damage from termite infestation. These new rules are the strictest and will be changing the pest control company nationwide. Courtesy Orlando Sentinel 7/7/06.
