Does anyone know the chance of reoccurance of termites after treatment with Termidor by a professional?

pest control company after only 3 years? All of my research and the paperwork I was given says this stuff is the best and lasts a good 10 years. Procedure was done properly, trench was dug all the way around the house, holes were drilled into the concrete porches. Just wondering with spring coming if I should get an inspection, we haven't seen anything since the treatment in 2006 but I could have sworn I saw a swarmer on my porch this morning.

    the chance for recurrence is unfortunately very good. Yes, reinspect. With the possibility potentially being pretty severe and assuming that your covered for the next 7 years, that's an awfully long time for the termites to do what they do. I would advise that you contact the same company with your fears and ask that they do a follow up to insure that the treatment they did for you is still working.

    We had it done in the condo and I too thought I saw a small swamer awhile back and sprayed them and I haven't seen them since. Actually I never did see one at a time but 2 years in a row I had a large swarm of them near my dinning room sliding door. It seemed like millions. I killed them with raid and they died quickly but I was scarred the first time cause I was afraid they were going to start flying around. I don't know if you ever really get rid of them completely. Let's see what others answer.
