# Termite bond software that catches a renewal before the customer finds the lapse

> A termite bond is a renewable service agreement in which a pest control operator warrants a structure against termites after treatment, obliging the operator to retreat, or to retreat and repair, while the bond stays in force and annual inspections are performed. Termiticides are regulated as pesticides under 40 CFR Part 152 and applicators are licensed by state. Neurobird holds every bond with its treatment graph, chemical record, inspection history and renewal anniversary in one place.

## What Neurobird Termite Bond Warranty does

- Hold every bond with property, treatment type, chemical applied and renewal anniversary
- Schedule annual inspections from the bond date rather than from a wall calendar
- Keep the treatment graph, product label and inspection photos attached to the bond
- Catch renewals and lapses early enough to do something about them

## How it works

1. **Register the bond** Property, treatment date, method, product applied and bond type are captured once, and the renewal anniversary is derived rather than typed.
2. **Inspect on the bond clock** Annual inspections are scheduled from the bond date, and the technician records findings, photos and any conducive conditions against that bond.
3. **See lapses coming** Renewals due in 30, 60 and 90 days are visible as a list, so a lapse becomes a decision rather than an accident.

## From the source material

> The pesticides used for the prevention or treatment of termite infestations are called termiticides and must demonstrate the ability to provide structural protection before we register them.

## Questions

### What is a termite bond?

A termite bond is a renewable service agreement in which a pest control operator warrants a structure against termites, usually after an initial treatment. Depending on the contract it obliges the operator to retreat, or to retreat and repair damage, for as long as the bond stays in force and annual inspections are performed.

### Why does the renewal date matter so much?

Because coverage depends on it. Bonds renew on the anniversary of treatment, which means renewals fall on every date in the year. A missed renewal means an uncovered structure, and the operator usually finds out when a customer reports live activity.

### What regulates termite treatment?

Termiticides are pesticides regulated federally under the pesticide registration framework in 40 CFR Part 152, and applicators are licensed by their state. State pest control programmes, such as the one run by Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, set licensing, reporting and inspection form requirements.

### What is a WDO report?

A wood destroying organism inspection report is the document issued at a property transaction stating what was found. It is a separate deliverable from the bond, but it is generated by the same field visit and has to match the treatment history on file.

### Does this replace our billing system?

No. It holds the bond, the treatment evidence and the inspection schedule. Renewal invoices go out through whatever you bill with, driven by the bond date rather than by a spreadsheet.
