A wood-destroying organism report, also referred to as a wood-destroying insect report, is a document that outlines the threat presented to a property by carpenter ants, termites, powderpost beetles, and other insects that damage wood. At All-American Pest Control, we help home buyers and sellers by creating this report. Our licensed service professionals inspect Middle Tennessee properties for the presence of wood-destroying insects and conditions that could make a property susceptible to damage.
Why You Should Get A WDI/WDO Report
Whether you are buying or selling a home, it is smart to invest in a wood destroying insect report.
Buying — Termite damage can be prevented. But the sad reality is that some property owners don't make termite control a priority. This can lead to extensive, hidden damage. As a property buyer, the last thing you want is to inherit hidden damage caused by wood-destroying pests. A WDI report helps you get the information you need to make a purchase you won't regret.
Selling — Insects can cause damage that is costly to repair, and this damage is often below the surface where you can't see it. You can live in a home for years and not realize that it has been severely damaged by insects. As a property seller, it can be a frustrating complication when a buyer discovers wood-destroying insects before you do. It could even prevent the property from being sold. A WDI report helps you correct issues before you put your property on the market, and it can allow you to recuperate any money lost making repairs before the sale.
How bad are wood-destroying insects in Nashville?
The humidity and warm temperatures in Tennessee give wood-destroying insects that they need to work like well-oiled machines. When these insects move into your yard and start damaging your home, it can be difficult to detect them. This is especially true of subterranean termites. Termites live in the ground and come up from the ground to feed on the wood of man-made structures. Once inside wood, they rarely reveal themselves. They feed quietly, hiding inside timbers, safe from the dry air and sunlight. When damage is finally discovered, it can be serious. Subterranean termites cost U.S. property owners billions of dollars every year, but you don't have to be part of that statistic.
Carpenter ants are no slouches. They can do quite a bit of damage as well. These ants carve out galleries inside wood. They begin with decaying wood but are known to move into sound timbers. As a carpenter ant colony grows, it spreads through the structure. Once it matures, one nest can turn into several nests. Carpenter ants cost U.S. property owners hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs annually. While not as destructive as subterranean termites on a national scale, each individual infestation varies. It is possible to have a carpenter ant infestation that is worse than termites. Don't risk it. Get your property inspected by a licensed service professional.
