Basic Termite Inspections vs. WDO/WDI Assessments

A standard termite inspection focuses primarily on identifying active termite colonies and visible damage within your home. These inspections are ideal for routine property maintenance, pre-treatment assessments, or when you've noticed potential signs of termite activity around your home. Our basic inspections include thorough visual examination, moisture assessment, and identification of conditions that attract termites, giving you a comprehensive understanding of your property's current termite status and immediate protection needs.

WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) and WDI (Wood Destroying Insect) inspections are more comprehensive assessments required for real estate transactions throughout Ventura County. These detailed reports meet all lender requirements and include examination of multiple wood-destroying pests beyond termites, such as carpenter ants and certain beetles that can damage wooden structures. Our WDO/WDI inspections provide escrow-specific documentation with detailed findings, repair recommendations, and treatment requirements that facilitate smooth property transfers. Whether you're buying, selling, or refinancing your Ventura home, our specialized escrow services include same-day appointments and expedited reporting to keep your real estate transaction on schedule while providing the thorough documentation required by mortgage lenders and title companies.

How Often Should Ventura Homeowners Schedule Termite Inspections?

In Ventura’s mild coastal climate, termites can thrive year-round. Most experts recommend scheduling a termite inspection at least once a year to catch problems early. Annual inspections can help detect hidden damage, reduce repair costs, and keep your home protected against future infestations.

What Are the Signs You Might Have Termites?

Homeowners often ask how to recognize termite activity before major damage occurs. Here are some common signs:

• Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
• Mud tubes along foundations or walls
• Discarded wings near windows or doors
• Small piles of wood-colored droppings

If you notice any of these signs, contact Dr. Termites immediately for a professional inspection.
