We’ve been protecting Fort King Acres families since day one. We’re not a franchise or corporate chain—we’re your neighbors.
George and Mary work directly with every client, which means when you call, you get the owner. When you have questions, you get answers from someone who’s been crawling under houses in Hernando County for years.
Our state license (#LF286842) and BBB accreditation aren’t just credentials—they’re proof that we do this right. Over 100 five-star reviews from local homeowners back that up.
We start with the foundation and work our way up. Every accessible area gets checked—crawl spaces, attics, exterior walls, anywhere termites might hide.
We’re looking for active colonies, old damage, and conditions that invite future problems. Mud tubes along your foundation. Soft spots in wood beams. Moisture issues that create termite highways.
You get the official state-required Form 13645 within 24 hours. If we find issues, we explain exactly what needs fixing and connect you with treatment options. If everything’s clear, you have the documentation your lender needs to close.

Fort King Acres sits in Florida’s high-risk termite zone. That means if you’re buying with a VA loan, refinancing, or just want to protect your investment, you need a proper WDO inspection.
We handle all the paperwork your lender requires. The NPMA-33 form for VA loans. The state-mandated documentation for real estate transactions. The detailed reports that satisfy even the pickiest underwriters.
Our inspections are valid for 90 days, giving you plenty of time to close without rushing. And because we know this area’s specific risks—the subterranean termites that thrive in our sandy soil, the drywood termites that hitchhike in lumber—we catch problems other inspectors miss.
Our WDO inspections in Fort King Acres typically cost between $125-$200, depending on your home’s size and complexity. This includes the complete inspection and all required documentation.
That might seem like money you’d rather spend elsewhere, but consider this: termite damage repairs average $30,000 or more, and your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover a penny. A $150 inspection that catches problems early can literally save you decades of mortgage payments.
We provide upfront pricing over the phone, so you know exactly what to expect before we arrive.
We examine every accessible area of your property for signs of wood-destroying organisms. This includes active termite colonies, old damage, and conditions that invite future infestations.
Specifically, we check for mud tubes along foundations, damaged wood in structural areas, termite droppings (frass), discarded wings near windows and doors, and moisture problems that create ideal termite conditions. We also inspect attached structures like decks and porches.
Our report documents everything we find—or confirms everything looks good. Either way, you get the complete picture of your property’s condition with photos and detailed explanations of any concerns.
WDO inspection reports are typically valid for 90 days from the inspection date for real estate transactions. This gives you plenty of time to complete your purchase without needing a second inspection.
However, some lenders may have different requirements, and if significant time passes or conditions change, a new inspection might be needed. We always date our reports clearly and can provide updated documentation if your closing gets delayed.
The key is timing your inspection so it’s fresh enough for closing but early enough to address any issues we find. We help coordinate the timing to keep your transaction on track.
Yes, VA loans require termite inspections throughout Florida because the entire state is classified as a moderate to heavy termite risk area. This isn’t optional—it’s a VA requirement before your loan can be approved.
The inspection must be completed by a licensed professional using the official NPMA-33 form. Any active infestations or structural damage must be treated and repaired before closing. As of 2022, VA borrowers can now pay for their own inspections, which often speeds up the process.
We’re experienced with VA requirements and make sure your inspection meets all their standards. No delays, no surprises, no problems at closing.
A WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) inspection is more comprehensive than a basic termite inspection. While termite inspections focus only on termites, WDO inspections cover all wood-destroying pests including termites, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, and wood-decaying fungi.
For real estate transactions in Florida, lenders typically require the full WDO inspection, not just a termite check. This ensures they’re protected against all types of wood damage, not just one pest species.
We always perform complete WDO inspections because Fort King Acres homes face multiple wood-destroying threats. You get the most thorough assessment possible, which is exactly what your lender—and your wallet—needs.
Yes, we offer same-day termite inspections in Fort King Acres when you need them urgently. Real estate transactions don’t wait, and neither do we.
Call us before noon, and we can usually get to your property the same day. We understand that closing deadlines are firm and last-minute inspection needs happen. That’s why we maintain flexible scheduling and don’t charge extra for weekend or evening appointments.
Our goal is keeping your transaction on track. Whether you just went under contract or your lender suddenly requires an inspection, we’ll work with your timeline to get you the documentation you need.
