Assuming you’re talking about subterranean termites the soil around the foundation needs to be treated. 10 years ago I used Cascade Pest Control and was extremely happy with their service.
Just my mudroom was affected because it was an addition built with a cinderblock foundation, so I only had that area treated vs around the entire house. I don’t believe they give the 5-year guarantee if you don’t have the whole perimeter done though.
Make sure you don’t have standing water around the foundation and that you don’t have a woodpile anywhere near the house as that takes away their food and water sources for nesting.
