Wood Destroying Insects Report

In the state of Texas, a Wood Destroying Insect Report, commonly known as a WDI report, is a crucial document in real estate transactions. It is required to thoroughly assess and document any potential infestations or damage caused by wood-destroying insects in a property. This report encompasses a detailed inspection of the structure, focusing on areas vulnerable to infestations, such as crawl spaces, attics, basements, and the exterior perimeter. It identifies and evaluates various wood-destroying pests, including termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles. The report also documents any existing damage caused by these insects and provides recommendations for treatment and remediation. Additionally, it may include information on conducive conditions that may attract or sustain wood-destroying insects, such as excessive moisture levels or wood-to-soil contact. Complying with the state’s standards for WDI reporting is essential to ensure a property is free from significant pest-related issues, safeguarding the investment and well-being of the occupants.
