Question about probability of termite reoccurance?

After professional treatment was done 2 1/2 years ago using Termidor. According to my research this is the best product on the market, application was done properly, a trench was dug around the entire perimeter of the house, holes drilled into the concrete porches. We haven't seen anything since however, I thought I saw a swarmer on my porch this morning.

    i dont want to alarm you but, with all the measures we take in construction and pest controll the best deteriant is awarness that they will try anything to get a feed, its survival for them.its always a needed to check around your property ie near trees or timber piles if you have any for activity in your area.

    The problem is that there are flying termites and subterranean termites. Most companies won't warranty treatment for the subterranean because the probability of reoccurence is much higher and they are more difficult to eradicate. The treatment you had done was for subterraneans and the type you saw on the porch is the flying type and requires a different treatment.
