Garden Grove’s location in Orange County means year-round termite activity. Subterranean termites are particularly active here, building colonies underground and accessing homes through tiny cracks in foundations. Drywood termites infest wood directly, often going undetected until significant damage occurs. Our local expertise means we know exactly where to look and what signs indicate trouble.
WDO inspections in Garden Grove typically cost between $50-$325, depending on your property size and complexity. Most standard residential inspections fall in the $75-$150 range.
The cost is minimal compared to potential termite damage, which can run into thousands of dollars. Plus, many lenders require the inspection anyway, so it’s not an optional expense—it’s a necessary part of your real estate transaction.

Our certified inspectors examine all accessible areas for signs of wood-destroying organisms. We look for live termites, mud tubes, frass (termite droppings), damaged wood, exit holes, and discarded wings.
We also check for conditions that attract termites: moisture problems, wood-to-ground contact, cracks in foundations, and areas where previous treatments may have been compromised. The inspection covers subterranean termites, drywood termites, wood-destroying beetles, and fungi.
Everything is documented in your official WDO report with specific locations, findings, and recommendations. If we find active infestations or damage, we’ll explain exactly what needs to be addressed and can provide treatment options.
WDO inspection reports in Florida are typically valid for 90 days from the inspection date. This gives you plenty of time to complete your real estate transaction without worrying about expiration.
The 90-day validity period exists because property conditions can change. New infestations or damage could occur if the inspection was done months ago, making the information outdated.
If your report expires before closing, you’ll need a new inspection. That’s why timing matters—we work with your real estate timeline to ensure the inspection happens at the right time and the report stays valid through closing.
Yes, Florida is one of the states where VA loans require WDO inspections. The Department of Veterans Affairs mandates termite inspections in areas with moderate to heavy termite infestation probability—and Florida definitely qualifies.
Your VA lender won’t approve the loan without a satisfactory WDO report. The inspection must be performed by a licensed pest control operator certified by the Florida Department of Agriculture, which all our inspectors are.
Recent VA rule changes allow buyers to pay for the inspection upfront and get reimbursed at closing. We’ll work with your lender and title company to ensure all requirements are met and your closing stays on schedule.
If we find active termites or damage, it’s documented in your WDO report with specific locations and severity. Finding termites isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker—it’s actually better to know about problems before you buy.
Most real estate contracts include provisions for termite issues. Buyers can negotiate for the seller to handle treatment and repairs, or adjust the purchase price to account for the work needed.
We can provide treatment options and cost estimates if termites are found. As a full-service pest control company, we can handle both the inspection and any necessary treatment, keeping everything simple and coordinated.
Annual termite inspections are recommended in Florida, especially in areas like Garden Grove where termite activity is year-round. Regular inspections catch problems early when they’re easier and cheaper to treat.
Even if you had a clear WDO report at purchase, conditions change. New colonies can establish, treatments can wear off, and home modifications can create vulnerabilities. Annual checkups ensure your protection stays current.
We offer maintenance programs that include regular inspections and monitoring. It’s much more affordable than dealing with major infestations later, and it protects your property value over time.
