Gain Peace of Mind with a Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection

When you are ready to purchase your dream home or commercial property, it is important to take the steps to ensure that your new property is not facing problems from wood-destroying insects.

Our team of highly trained, professional pest control technicians knows what to look for and will make sure that you are fully informed of our findings.

What Are Wood-Destroying Insects?

There are a variety of wood-destroying insects which could have invaded your property without being noticed. Instead of taking the chance that there may be insects hiding in your home or business’s infrastructure, get a WDI inspection to get a full picture of the state of your property. 

Wood-destroying insects include: 

• Termites 
• Carpenter ants
• Carpenter bees
• Woodboring beetles
• Powderpost beetles

Each of the insects listed above either feast on food or use wood as part of their nesting system. This means that they slowly but surely destroy the wooden structures of your property, leaving holes and damage behind. 

You might notice these signs of wood-destroying insects:

• Mud tubes around your walls or exterior
• Tiny holes in wood 
• Visible damage to wooden structures
• Hollow, blistering, or darkened wood 
• Peeling or bubbling paint 

Any of these signs can indicate the presence of these wood-destroying insects. Our team of pest control experts will look for these signs when you enlist our help for a WDI inspection. During our inspection, we will also look for signs that the property has been treated for wood-destroying insects previously, or if it is still undergoing treatment. This is important information for you to have before you get the keys to your new property. 

In many cases, banks will require a WDI inspection before they authorize a mortgage. Additionally, if you are working with any federal agencies, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Federal Housing Administration, you will be required to have a WDI inspection. 

Prevention Is Key

If you already own a property, one of the best things that you can do for its longevity is to take steps to prevent the incursion of wood-destroying insects in the first place. Certain measures such as eliminating or reducing moisture around your property, repairing worn fascia, soffits, and shingles, or replacing weather stripping and loose mortar around foundations and windows can help reduce the chances of a wood-destroying insect invasion.
