Termite Inspection in Greenville, North Carolina – Wood Destroying Insect Reports (WDIR)
D & D Pest Control Co. provides professional termite inspections in Greenville, North Carolina, including official Wood-Destroying Insect Reports (WDIR) for real estate transactions, refinancing, and VA/FHA/USDA loans. Our licensed termite inspectors carefully evaluate your property for termites and other wood-destroying insects that can damage your home or business.
Whether you are buying, selling, refinancing, or just want peace of mind, we can provide a detailed inspection and written report so you know exactly where you stand.
What Is a Wood-Destroying Insect Report (WDIR)?
In North Carolina, termite inspections for real estate closings are documented on the Official North Carolina Wood-Destroying Insect Information Report (Form WDIR-100). This form is adopted by the Structural Pest Control Committee and is the only legal form allowed for this purpose in North Carolina.
- Reports the presence or absence of wood-destroying insects and visible evidence of their activity.
- May note conditions that are conducive to future infestations (moisture, wood-to-soil contact, etc.).
- Must be issued by or under the supervision of a licensed structural pest control operator.
Our inspectors are licensed to perform these inspections and complete the WDIR-100 form properly so lenders, attorneys, and closing agents have the documentation they need.
Wood-Destroying Insects We Inspect For
Your termite inspection and WDIR report cover a variety of wood-destroying insects, not just termites.
- Eastern subterranean termites
- Old house borers & other wood-boring beetles (including powder post beetles)
- Carpenter ants
- Carpenter bees
- Other insects that damage structural wood or wood components
If we find visible evidence of any of these pests, it will be clearly noted on the WDIR along with treatment recommendations.
When Is a Termite Inspection / WDIR Needed?
- Home purchase: Most lenders and closing attorneys require a current WDIR when a home is sold.
- Refinance: Some refinance lenders require an updated termite inspection to verify there is no active infestation.
- VA, FHA & USDA loans: Government-backed loans often require a termite inspection and official report.
- Pre-listing inspections: Sellers often order a WDIR before listing to avoid surprises later in the process.
- Annual checking: Even outside of real estate transactions, regular inspections help protect your investment.
A WDIR is typically considered valid for about 30 days from the inspection date unless otherwise specified by the lender or attorney.
What We Inspect During a Termite Inspection
We inspect all readily accessible areas of the structure as defined by North Carolina’s WDIR standards. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
- Exterior foundation and structural wood members
- Crawlspaces and piers (where accessible)
- Basements and slab edges (where visible)
- Interior baseboards, door frames, and window trim
- Accessible attics, floor systems, and attached garages
- Decks, porches, and steps where they adjoin the structure
We look for:
- Mud tubes or shelter tubes
- Wood damage consistent with wood-destroying insects
- Exit holes, frass, and other visible evidence
- Conducive conditions such as high moisture, wood-to-soil contact, or plumbing leaks
The WDIR explains what was inspected, what was not accessible, and any limitations of the inspection.
Limitations of a Termite Inspection / WDIR
It is important to understand what a WDIR is—and what it is not.
- It is not a structural or home inspection.
- It is not a guarantee that wood-destroying insects are completely absent from the property.
- It reports on visible and accessible evidence on the day of inspection only.
- Hidden areas behind walls, under floor coverings, and inside inaccessible voids cannot be inspected.
We always recommend buyers consider a complete home inspection in addition to the WDIR to fully understand the property’s condition.
Our Termite Inspection Process

- Delivery: The completed WDIR is sent to the client, agent, or closing attorney as requested.

Frequently Asked Questions – Termite Inspections & WDIRs
Who can perform a WDIR in North Carolina?
Only licensed structural pest control professionals, or individuals working under their supervision, are allowed to issue the Official NC WDIR-100 form.
How long is a WDIR valid?
Most lenders and closing attorneys consider a WDIR valid for about 30 days from the inspection date, but requirements can vary. It reflects conditions only on the day of the inspection.
Is a WDIR the same as a home inspection?
No. A WDIR is a limited inspection focusing only on wood-destroying insects and related evidence. It is not a full structural, mechanical, or systems inspection.
Do you offer termite treatments if termites are found?
Yes. If we find active termites or significant damage, we can provide a separate written estimate for Termidor termite treatment or other corrective measures.
Should buyers attend the termite inspection?
Buyers are welcome to attend. It can be helpful to see any areas of concern in person and ask questions about treatment or prevention.
