Before purchasing your property, we highly recommend having a Wood Destroying Organisms (Termites) Inspection. Manter Inspection Company will provide that for free at the time of your Real Estate Home Inspection. If you need an individual report on WDO Inspection, please let us know before the inspection starts. Why WDO (Termites) Inspection? Wood can last for centuries, if protected from moisture and insect attack. When it is not properly protected, it will succumb to biological processes that decompose wood: insects that eat the wood or fungi that cause rot and decay. The most damaging insects that attack structural wood are termites. Their presence is hard to notice, and damage usually is found before the termites are seen. Prevent infestations because if they occur, they will almost always need professional pest-control service! If you see the following signs in your house, you might have termites: • sawdust-like droppings;• dirt or mud-like tubes or trails on the structure;• damaged wood members (like window sills); and• swarming winged insects within the structure, especially in the spring or fall.
