I asked how much to treat around a 10x10 metal shed. All I wanted was the ground around it sprayed. The estimate was 500$..... They didnt even send anyone out to look at it. There is a termite bond on our house in teachy. They manage a dehumidifier in the crawlspace. All they do is see if it's powered on. They are maintaining a dehumidifier that is in an unsealed crawl space. Which means it's dehumidifying the atmosphere. So the dehumidifier was running 24/7. They never mentioned this. I'm going to move my business to a company that actually does what they are paid to do. Murray is a dishonest company that cheats people. I got a estimate from another company and our bond costs 25% less than I'm paying Murray. Murray does as little as possible. I had them tell me that they came to my house checked the dehumidifier and sprayed around the house. After reviewing the video cameras I found that no one from Murray was on my property at all that day. The lack of a seal in the crawlspace has caused the moisture to damage to the floor. I wish we had picked someone else. Now we have damage to our home. We had bug out come out. They found termite damage..... Murray has had our bond for several years. We are going to file a civil claim for damages and change to another company. If you aren't from the south then I'd advise a national company. With these folks it's a lot like the movie funny farm. They don't treat transplants fairly. Like most rural areas in the south. My solution is to not do business with podunk vendors. I've seen many negative experiences shared on next door. Some worse than my own. Update : Final sost to repair the termite damage to our home was 16,000$. The termite damage to the floor and lower wall stud was extensive. Murray sent a guy that couldn't even fit thru the crawlspace access to "inspect" the vents were knocked out so there was just open air and no dehumidification in the crawlspace for years before I purchased this place. Also means no one went inside to inspect anything in my crawlspace . The south is a joke. Everything here is half as5ed. I've since gone with a national provider that bypasses the good old boy system. No bugs and my animals are no longer suffering health issues since we parted with this company. 16,000$ is a steep price for a bad vendor choice. Lesson learned.
