My only opinion on the termite jobs, not soil treatments is that they do
more and have more experience. I did all termite inspections for 1
company
and never received a bid for the actual treatment of a problem. Also
depends
on what part of country your in. In Vegas we don't have as much of a
problem
compared to other states.
