Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) Inspections
Florida's warm, humid climate makes it one of the most termite-active states in the country. A WDO inspection protects your investment from the damage you can't always see.
What Is a WDO Inspection?
A Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection — also called a termite inspection or pest inspection — is a visual examination of a property for evidence of wood-destroying insects, organisms, and fungi. In Florida, WDO inspections are commonly required by lenders and are strongly recommended for any real estate transaction. Our inspections are provided by Florida licensed pest control contractor Termite Depot.

Why WDO Inspections Matter in Florida
Florida Is High Risk
Florida ranks among the top states for termite activity. Subterranean and drywood termites are both prevalent in Southwest Florida and can cause extensive structural damage.
Required by Many Lenders
VA loans require a WDO inspection on every transaction. Many conventional and FHA lenders also require one, especially when evidence of prior treatment exists.
Avoid Costly Repairs
Left undetected, wood destroying organisms can cause damage that runs into the tens of thousands of dollars to repair. Catching a problem before closing gives you the leverage to negotiate, walk away, or plan accordingly — rather than inheriting someone else's infestation.
