Important Information for Home Buyers – Understanding Wood-Destroying Organism Inspection Reports

Orlando, FL, April 05, 2015 --(PR.com)-- A mortgage lender usually requires a Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection report as part of the real estate transaction. The report details if the home has evidence of visible and accessible termites, and wood-destroying beetles and fungi. It also cites the damage done by the organism, as well as any prior treatment for termites or other wood-destroying organisms. Florida law does not mandate the reporting of the presence of carpenter ants or bees. WDO inspections can only be done by a certified WDO operator who has completed the state-required training.

Once a home buyer receives a “clear report”, it indicates that there are no visible or accessible wood-destroying organisms present in the home. WDO inspectors only report what they can see. However, there is still a possibility of infestation if the WDO’s are behind walls or living in some other inaccessible area.

Should you decide to purchase the home, the best protection is to have a comprehensive treatment with a full guarantee warranty contract to eliminate and prevent any further damage, which is what Pro Staff Termite and Pest Control offers its customers. Call the certified WDO inspectors at Pro-Staff Pest Control at 407-292-7378 for an inspection and treatment bond as soon as possible. Procrastinating will only cause more damage if there is an infestation.
