They fumigated and did subterannean work. $ 3K+
Like many companies fumigation was subcontracted.

2 year warranty
1 year for sub work
Pro:
Inspector seemed knowledgeable, experienced.
Owner seemed professional. (and told us he would hire a guard to watch our property since it was a busy street– unclear if this really happened since we didn’t really bother to check).
Cons:
The subterranean work is done by other employees (inspector/​owner not on site).
Employee 1^st used a chemical which I felt was inferior and was not stated in contract.
One of them quite rudely told me I had no choice.
I argued with the administrator at the office.
(pro) They eventually agreed to return and re do it with the other chemical (Termidor). And apologized for that employees behavior.
Given what I calculated (from the internet)– I was still concerned they may not have used enough chemical– but figured they treated the area twice at least.

Pro:
Took care not to damage tiles
Con?:
AS with any company– it can be unclear if they use enough chemical to rid of all the bugs.

I noticed termite droppings on my stairs.
the inspector came and told us there is no way to determine if there is new activity– could be old from ceiling. Call back if swarms.

Drywood termite swarms at my doorstep.
Another company also noticed subterraenan tubes.
Various areas of wood damage around the house– unclear old/​new.
Am told I may need to fumigate again.
Called this company again– at first they would come back out.
Then got a call like an hour later– saying they no longer service the area.
