Formosan termites are subterranean termites, and identification matters when their activity is suspected. Their documented expansion in Alabama is a reason for informed assessment, not a reason to label every Birmingham swarm as Formosan. Save photographs or a safely collected sample and ask the inspecting provider to identify the evidence.
A species-specific proposal should explain the observed activity, affected parts of the building and any additional investigation needed. Ask whether concealed moisture sources or activity above ground affect the assessment. A generic description of a perimeter treatment cannot establish that every suspected infestation has the same scope.
Check the species provisions and exclusions in any existing agreement before assuming coverage. Confirm the product, follow-up and available specialist service for the exact property. Do not infer Formosan activity in your neighborhood from a statewide report; an individual building needs its own inspection.
Compare termite inspection and termite bonds when planning the next step. Call (323) 689-7617 with your property address to confirm the requested service and current availability.
