What a WDO report covers
A WDO inspection, short for wood destroying organism inspection, is reported on the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services form FDACS-13645. The WDO report states whether there is visible evidence of live wood-destroying organisms, evidence of past infestation, damage, and any signs of previous treatment. It covers termites as well as wood-decay fungi and wood-boring beetles, which is why it's broader than a simple termite inspection.
The inspection is visual and covers accessible areas, so the report also lists anything we couldn't reach, such as areas behind finished walls or under stored belongings. That way you and your lender know exactly what was examined.
Annual termite inspection and WDO inspection cost
South Florida's warm, humid climate supports both subterranean and drywood termites year round, so an annual termite inspection is a sensible habit for homeowners, not just buyers. WDO inspection cost is lowest when it's added to a full home inspection, and our pricing page lists the termite inspection cost on its own.
Termite Inspection in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach's older neighborhoods, from Flamingo Park to Northwood, include many homes with raised wood floors, wood-framed additions and original wood trim, all of which give termites more to work with. Drywood termites often show up in attic framing, window frames and fascia boards, leaving small piles of pellets, while subterranean termites build mud tubes along foundations and slab edges. Mature landscaping and mulch beds pressed against the house are common here and worth correcting. For a termite inspection in West Palm Beach, whether for a purchase or peace of mind, book online.
Termite Inspection in Boca Raton
In Boca Raton's 1970s and 1980s communities, many homes have been tented or treated at least once, and the WDO report notes any visible evidence of that previous treatment. Gated communities sometimes run their own termite programs, so it helps to ask the association for treatment records before closing. Tile roofs with wood battens, wood trellises and pergolas, and irrigation spraying against stucco are common conducive conditions. Condo buyers along A1A can get a WDO inspection of their unit, too.

Termite / WDO Inspection: questions
What is a WDO inspection?
A WDO inspection is a wood destroying organism inspection that looks for termites, wood-decay fungi and wood-boring beetles, plus past damage and previous treatment. We provide termite and WDO inspections throughout Palm Beach and Broward Counties, reported on Florida's official form.
What is the difference between a termite inspection and a WDO inspection?
A termite inspection focuses on termites, while a WDO inspection covers all wood-destroying organisms and is written on the state form FDACS-13645. Lenders and real estate contracts usually ask for the WDO report.
How much does a termite inspection cost?
The cost of a termite inspection depends on the size of the home and whether it's added to a home inspection, which is the most economical option. See our pricing page for the current WDO inspection cost.
Do lenders require a WDO inspection in Florida?
Many do, particularly for VA and some other loan types. Your lender or agent can confirm whether your loan needs a WDO report, and we can deliver it with your home inspection report.
How often should I get a termite inspection?
Once a year is a good rule for South Florida homes, where termites are active year round. An annual termite inspection catches activity early, when treatment is simpler and damage is limited.
Is a termite and pest inspection the same as a WDO report?
Not quite. A WDO report covers wood-destroying organisms only, not general pests like ants or roaches. If you see other pests, a licensed pest control company can address them separately.
