Termite Inspections

Termite inspections are performed by a third-party licensed pest control company.  They can be sceduled at the same time as your home inspection, as a convenience to you and your real estate professional. 

Whether you’re buying, selling or refinancing…

you will be required to have a home inspection as well as a Wood Destroying Insects Report, known in the industry as W.D.I.R.’s (Termite Letter).  These termite inspection companies have many professionals who can check your home and get these important reports to your real estate agent or lending institution promptly.

W.D.I.R.’s are performed by a Licensed Pest Control Operator.  These professionals inspect all accessible areas of your home including interior, garage, storage rooms, attic, crawl space and any other buildings attached to the main structure.  They check thoroughly for evidence of termites, powder post beetles, old house borers, carpenter ants, carpenter bees and any other, wood destroying insect common to your area.  In addition, they check for conditions that might be conducive to termites or other wood destroying insects, such as excessive moisture, wood debris in the crawl space, wood stored under the structure or deck, poor foundation ventilation and any earth-wood contact between the structure and the ground.
