Termite damage isn’t covered by homeowner’s insurance in Florida for a good reason: Our state has one of the largest populations of termites in the country, so the likelihood of a termite infestation is very high. A termite warranty, sometimes referred to as a termite bond, is the only way to bridge the coverage gap and ensure that your home is protected from the destruction these pests can cause.

• Retreatment and repair warranties: In the event of a termite infestation, this type of contract provides termite treatments at no additional cost, plus coverage for any damage done by termites as long as the warranty is in effect.
• Retreatment-only warranties: As with retreatment and repair warranties, this provides termite treatments at no additional cost if you have an infestation, but it does not include any repair coverage.
• Renewal frequency: Termite warranties must be renewed in order to maintain coverage. Our customers may choose an annual renewal or a 5-, 7- or 10-year renewal period before a booster is needed.
• New homes: A newly built home may be covered by a warranty that the builder initiated after having satisfied a requirement for pre-construction termite prevention measures. This coverage expires after a period of one year and must be renewed by the homeowner by the expiration date in order to avoid a lapse in coverage. Turner Pest Control termite warranty renewals go into effect on the date the homeowner signs the paperwork to elect coverage.
• Existing homes: If a Turner Pest Control termite warranty is in effect, it can be transferred to a new homeowner if you sell your home and you pay only for what you have used. If there is no warranty, either a retreatment and repair warranty or a retreatment-only warranty can be purchased, depending upon whether your house qualifies for repair coverage.
• Costs: Renewal fees are priced according to the size of the home being covered.
