How Do I Get a WDI Report in Arizona?

Many people don’t think about pests when buying or selling their home. However, getting a wood-destroying insect report (WDI report) is a crucial step that you shouldn’t miss. When producing one of these reports, a licensed pest control professional will perform a thorough inspection of the property and document any signs of current or previous termite infestations. 

To get a WDI report in Arizona, all you need to do is contact your local pest control company. After examining your home, they will create a report that details the presence – or absence – of wood-destroying pests on your property. They can also identify any vulnerabilities that put you at risk of experiencing an infestation in the future, which can set homebuyers up for long-term success.

What Are WDI Reports?

When conducting a WDI inspection, a pest expert will meticulously examine your property’s interior and exterior. They’ll look for any signs of wood-destroying insects, make note of any damage, and determine if the insects are still present. While WDI reports are primarily associated with termites, they can also include information about wood-destroying beetles and other pests. These reports are most frequently used when buying or selling a home, but they’re helpful for anybody who wants peace of mind against destructive insects.

How Do WDI Inspections Work?

When it comes to WDI inspections, the pest professional doesn’t just look for signs of existing infestations; they also check for evidence of previous pest damage and any factors that could contribute to a future termite invasion. During a WDI inspection, a licensed pest control company will:

  • Look for evidence of wood-destroying insects like termites, carpenter bees, and various ant or beetle species. 
  • See if there’s evidence of previous pest activity that may have caused damage to your property. 
  • Investigate any vulnerable areas such as decks, porches, and exposed wooden beams. Some may even look at less-accessible places like wall voids.
  • Create a detailed report that includes all of the information a current property owner or potential buyer may want to know.

Are WDI Reports Required in Arizona?

When buying or selling a property, WDI reports are usually legally required in all states – and for good reason. Termites and other wood-destroying pests can cause serious damage that is unsafe and expensive to repair. If you’re buying a property, you should know about its pest history.
