Why Do I Need A WDI Report In Conroe, TX?

If you live anywhere in Conroe, Spring, The Woodlands, Houston or anywhere in the Greater Houston area, you need to have a WDI Report if you are purchasing a home. Not only because it is required by lenders but because of the area in which you and I live in. Houston ranks 8th in the United States for Termite population. That means the entire greater Houston area is subject to high termite populations. Here in Conroe, homes suffer from three different types of Termites. Those Termites are: Subterranean, DryWood, and Formosan. In addition, Conroe, TX suffers from a high population of Carpenter Ants. Conroe’s wooded areas make an attractive place for wood destroying insects!

What is a Wood Destroying Insect Report?

According to Texas Real Estate Law, anytime a piece of real estate transfers parties, the parties must conduct a wood destroying insect report. In Texas, a Wood Destroying Insect report is a certification indicating the piece of real estate has been inspected for Subterranean Termites, Drywood Termites, Formosan Termites, Carpenter Ants, Carpenter Bees, Old House Beetle, Powder Post Beetle, and any other wood destroying insect.  Most lenders will not provide finance in a real estate transaction if the home has not been inspected for Wood Destroying Insects.

How Is A Wood Destroying Insect Report Inspection Conducted?

Here at CPL Pest Control, we use only the best in technology to ensure we perform the highest level of quality in your WDI Inspection. This includes us searching around the structure for evidence of Termites, Carpenter Ants, Carpenter Bees, etc. We then use our Thermal Infrared Camera to corroborate any evidence that may have been detected to determine with 100% accuracy Wood Destroying Insect presence. We also inspect the attic space as well to make sure Termites, Carpenter Ants, nor any other wood destroying insect have made their way up there. If your home sits on Pier and Beams, then we crawl underneath the home and thoroughly inspect the crawlspace for any indication of wood destroying insects.

Once the inspection has been completed our highly trained and licensed technicians will provide you with the “WDI Report”. This serves as the certificate of completion you are needing for you and your lender.
