Your WDO inspection covers subterranean termites, drywood termites, wood-boring beetles, carpenter ants, and wood-destroying fungi. We examine all wooden structures, including fences, decks, and attached buildings that could harbor infestations.
Trilcoochee’s location in Hernando County puts properties at high risk for both subterranean and drywood termite species. Subterranean termites build mud tubes from soil to wood, while drywood termites live entirely within the wood they consume.

We provide transparent pricing upfront with no hidden fees. Military families and new homeowners qualify for special discounts, and we work with your timeline to prevent closing delays.
Our certified inspectors examine every accessible area for signs of wood-destroying organisms including termites, beetles, and fungi. We look for mud tubes, frass (termite droppings), discarded wings, hollow-sounding wood, and moisture conditions that attract pests.
Visual inspection covers crawl spaces, attics, basements, garages, and all wooden structures. We probe damaged wood, check foundation areas, and identify conducive conditions like wood-to-soil contact or moisture problems.
Your detailed report documents current infestations, past damage, previous treatments, and recommendations for addressing any issues found. Everything is photographed and described clearly so you understand exactly what we discovered and what it means for your property.
Termite inspection reports are typically valid for 90 days from the inspection date for real estate transactions. Most lenders require the inspection to be completed within this timeframe before closing to ensure current property conditions.
If your closing extends beyond 90 days, you may need a reinspection to satisfy lender requirements. We coordinate timing with your real estate agent and lender to prevent delays and ensure compliance with all loan conditions.
VA loans, FHA loans, and conventional mortgages all accept our state-certified WDO reports. We understand transaction timelines and provide fast turnaround to keep your purchase on schedule while meeting all documentation requirements.
Yes, VA loans require termite inspections for all Florida properties because the state falls in the “very heavy” termite infestation probability zone. This requirement protects veterans from purchasing homes with hidden termite damage.
The VA mandates a Wood-Destroying Organism inspection using the standardized NPMA-33 form. Any active infestations or structural damage must be treated and repaired before the loan can close, with clearance documentation provided to the lender.
As of June 2022, VA borrowers can pay for their own termite inspections and repairs, giving you more control over the process. We work directly with VA lenders and understand all requirements to ensure smooth loan approval.
A WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism) inspection is more comprehensive than a basic termite inspection. While termite inspections focus only on termites, WDO inspections examine all wood-destroying organisms including termites, beetles, carpenter ants, and wood-destroying fungi.
Florida law requires WDO inspections for real estate transactions, not just termite inspections. Our certified inspectors look for subterranean termites, drywood termites, powderpost beetles, and conditions that promote wood decay.
You receive a complete report covering past infestations, current activity, structural damage, and conducive conditions. This comprehensive approach ensures lenders get the documentation they require while giving you complete information about your property’s condition.
Annual termite inspections are recommended for all Trilcoochee properties due to Florida’s year-round termite activity and high infestation probability. Regular inspections catch problems early before extensive damage occurs.
Trilcoochee’s warm, humid climate allows termite colonies to remain active throughout the year, unlike northern climates where cold weather provides natural breaks. With 3 to 5 termite colonies per acre on average, your property faces constant pressure from these wood-destroying pests.
Properties with previous termite activity, moisture issues, or conducive conditions may benefit from more frequent inspections. We provide ongoing monitoring services and can recommend the best schedule based on your specific property conditions and risk factors.
