WDI WDO Wood Destroying Insects OrganismsWood-destroying organisms (WDO) can cause serious problems in the wood structural components of a house and may go undetected for a long period of time. Subterranean termites are the most damaging insects of wood. Wood-destroying insect (WDI) inspections are sometimes commonly referred to as "termite inspections." The inspection may include probing and/or sounding of unobstructed and accessible areas to determine the presence or absence of visual evidence of wood-destroying insects. This inspection may not include mold, mildew, and non-insect-destroying organisms. Some states may require a wood-destroying organism inspection in addition to a WDI inspection.

Termite InspectionWDI inspectors may require specialized training and/or certifications. WDI inspections are outside of the scope of the home inspection as it requires specialized training, certifications, or licensing in most municipalities and states. Home inspectors also are not required to report on wood-destroying organisms.
