    Probably not conducive to good business practice.

    However there might be insurance mobs who do.

    Go to http://www.google.com.au and type in termite insurance.

    I’d be suprised if there were such a thing. The problem with termites is that eradication of one infestation is no guarantee of future protection. An insurance company would be wary of insuring any propert at risk of termite damage, especially as something as simple as the owner putting down woodchips as mulch could encourage new activity. How would you like your claim for insurance disqualified just because you were trying to save water on your garden beds? About the only places they would insure are those whose risk of infestation was negligable.. And then it wouldn’t be worth your expense to get the insurance…
