Frame lines, Frame A
| Frame line row, Frame A | Reading | Frame A note |
|---|---|---|
| Average tenting job | $3,000 | average line as printed |
| Most jobs | $2,000-$5,000 | band line as printed |
| Full span | $1,500-$8,000 | span line as printed |
| Initial inspection | $100-$300 | inspection line as printed |
| Annual preventative inspections | $200-$600 | preventative line as printed |
Each reading is one frame line, stated as printed in Frame A. The inspection lines stand apart inside each frame: an initial inspection at $100-$300 in Frame A against a termite inspection at $0-$250 in Frame B, and the preventative lines apart again -- annual preventative inspections at $200-$600 in Frame A against an annual program at $200-$900 and a termite bond at $500-$2,000 in Frame B. An inspection line is never a tenting row, and the standing termite inspection hub prices the inspection visit as its own job, named apart.
Frame lines, Frame B
| Frame line row, Frame B | Reading | Frame B note |
|---|---|---|
| Whole-home tenting band | $2,000-$8,000 | band line as printed |
| Rate line | $1-$4 per sq ft | rate line as printed |
| Termite inspection | $0-$250 | inspection line as printed |
| Termite bond | $500-$2,000 | bond line as printed |
| Annual program | $200-$900 | program line as printed |
One adjoining line stands fenced off in Frame A: termite damage repair readings at $600-$3,000 as printed there -- the repair job after a treatment, named apart, never a tenting row here.

The size side stands across both frames, apart.
Line against line, frame against frame
An inspection line at $100-$300 against a bond line at $500-$2,000 and a whole-home band at $2,000-$8,000 -- one job, priced apart by frame line. The frames price the same job apart -- an average at $3,000 with most jobs at $2,000-$5,000 in Frame A against a whole-home band at $2,000-$8,000 with no average printed in Frame B, an inspection line at $100-$300 against $0-$250, a heat line read per unit in Frame A against a whole-home heat band at $2,000-$6,000 in Frame B -- a frame difference, never averaged, never blended.
The neighbours named apart
Named apart, never a row here: termite treatment, the liquid, bait, and spot methods on the standing treatment hub; termite inspection, the inspection visit; the bed-bug cluster, a bed-bug job; the pest-control service page, general pest visits; and termite damage repair, the repair job after a treatment -- this cluster prices the whole-structure tenting job alone.
