The whole concept behind termite baiting is to minimize and eliminate the need for using chemical treatments such as Termidor. In most cases, if any substantial amount of Termidor is used, it would cause the bait system to become useless. Using both treatments at the same time is not recommended. Termite bait systems work if they are inspected at least every 6 months and the bait is replaced as it is eaten or consumed by the termites. In my experience, Sentricon, Advance, Hex Pro, even Terminate Termite Stakes work and do kill termites. In my opinion, using Termidor every 10 years is unnecessary, especially if a termite bait system has been maintained. If there are no active termites at this time and this company wants to drill up and trench your home and apply Termidor purely as a preventive, I would look elsewhere. Don't fix whats not broken. The cosmetic damage that this could cause to your home could outweigh any benefit the treatment. Consider doing your own bait system inspections too. It doesn't take much time and you can buy all of the products for less than a couple years annual cost.
