WDO/Termite Inspection

What is a pest inspection?

Also called a termite inspection, this visual inspection is conducted by a certified professional hired to look for signs of infestation or damage to a structure by wood-destroying pests.

Pest inspectors look for:

• Wood-destroying pests, such as termites, carpenter ants, rot fungus and wood-infesting beetles.
• Evidence of pest activity, such as damaged wood, dead insects and termite tubes.
• Conducive conditions for pests, such as standing water, earth-to-wood contact and plumbing leaks

The inspector will visually inspect accessible areas inside a home (including crawlspaces) and the exterior of the property. In areas where dry wood termites are prevalent and in houses where there are no sub floor crawlspaces, the attic is also inspected. The average termite inspection takes about an hour. Findings are recorded on a pest control inspection report.
