Buying or selling a home? O'Connor Pest Control performs the Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report so your closing stays on track and you know exactly what you're buying.
A WDI inspection produces the Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report (WDIR), the standard termite report used in Texas real estate transactions. Buyers, sellers, real estate agents and lenders rely on it to know whether a property has termites, other wood-destroying insects, or damage they've left behind.
In Texas, the WDIR is regulated by the Texas Department of Agriculture and must be performed by a pest control professional licensed in the termite category. It's a separate report from a general home inspection, so even if you've already hired a home inspector, you may still need a licensed pest control company for the termite report.
O'Connor Pest Control has served Greater Houston since 1990. Owner Michael O'Connor is a Texas-licensed pest control professional who also holds a TREC Real Estate Inspector license, so he understands both the pest side and the real estate side of the transaction.
We inspect the accessible areas of the structure for evidence of wood-destroying insects and the conditions that invite them.
Live termites or other wood-destroying insects found in or around the structure.
Evidence of past infestation or wood damage, whether or not insects are still present.
Moisture problems, wood-to-soil contact and other conditions that make a property attractive to termites.
Findings documented on the Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report for your transaction.
Many Texas real estate transactions call for a WDI report before closing, and some lenders and loan programs require one. Waiting until the last minute can hold up a sale, so it's smart to schedule your inspection as soon as you're under contract.
For buyers, the report is one of the most important checks you can get on a property. Termite damage happens out of sight and is rarely covered by homeowner's insurance, so finding it before you close can save you from a major expense after you move in.
For sellers, an inspection before listing helps you find and address problems ahead of time, rather than having them surface in the middle of negotiations.
Every WDI inspection from O'Connor Pest Control includes:
A WDI (Wood Destroying Insect) inspection checks a property for termites and other wood-destroying insects, previous damage, and conditions that attract them. The findings are recorded on the Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report, the termite report used in Texas real estate transactions.
Buyers, sellers, real estate agents and lenders all use WDI reports. Many transactions call for one before closing, and some lenders and loan programs require it. Your agent or lender can tell you whether yours is required.
Not unless they also hold the right pest control license. In Texas, the WDI report must be performed by a pest control professional licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture in the termite category. A home inspector license alone doesn't cover it.
