Default Remodeling revealed termites -- now what?

In article ,
says...
Notice I said , if the Sentricon system was done correctly .

so if the company that originally had the rights to Sentricon when it
came out can't do it properly..or the half a dozen or so companies that
were able to apply a few years later can't get it right, one would begin
to think hmmmmm

This does not mean whip monitoring stations around the perimeter and check
them out every 3 months . Very critical to capture, bait , and keep the
termites well fed . Direct baiting of the interior and heavy monitoring also
helpful .

$2400 initial service between $350-$450 a year to maintain..an
expecation of 18-24 months for elimination..even with constan
monitoring/baiting.

Traditional liquid termiticides do not abosorb well , if at all , when
stucco or styrofoam insulation board is involved in foundation at or below
grade of the structure .

Not sure why this would be an issue...the treatment should be below
the bottom of the stucco..along with suggesting the proper grade
corrections...even the extreme of "trimming" the bottom of the stucco
may be in line.
