What Is a Wood Destroying Insect Report (WDIR)?

In North Carolina, termite inspections for real estate transactions are documented on the official state form commonly known as the WDIR (often referenced as the WDIR-100). A WDIR reports visible evidence of wood-destroying insects and may note conditions conducive to subterranean termites—like moisture issues or wood-to-soil contact. It’s a snapshot of visible/accessible conditions on the day of the inspection.

Tip for buyers: A WDIR is not a full home inspection. If you want the most complete picture of a property, pair your WDIR with a full inspection and moisture evaluation.

Wood-Destroying Insects Included in Our Inspection

Your inspection is not limited to termites. We look for visible evidence of common wood-destroyers that impact homes and structures in Eastern North Carolina, including:

  • Eastern Subterranean Termites
  • Powder Post Beetles and other wood-boring beetles
  • Carpenter Ants
  • Carpenter Bees

Eastern Subterranean Termite Facts (Pitt County, NC)

Eastern Subterranean Termites are the most common structural termite threat in our region. They live in the soil and travel to wood using protective “shelter tubes” (often called mud tubes). Because they need moisture, crawlspaces, plumbing leaks, poor drainage, and wood-to-soil contact can dramatically increase risk.

Common signs homeowners should watch for

  • Mud tubes on foundation walls, crawlspace piers, or inside garages
  • Swarmers (winged termites) indoors—often near windows, doors, or lights
  • Discarded wings on sills or floors
  • Hollow-sounding wood, blistering paint, or soft/sagging trim

Why termites are so “quiet” in homes

Subterranean termites can feed inside wood and behind surfaces where damage isn’t obvious until it becomes expensive. That’s why a timely WDIR—especially before closing—matters.

Pro move: If we document moisture or conducive conditions, consider pairing termite protection with crawlspace moisture control to reduce future risk.

When Do You Need a Termite Inspection / WDIR?

  • Home purchase / closing: Most lenders and closing attorneys require a current WDIR.
  • Refinancing: Some lenders require an updated report to confirm no visible activity.
  • VA / FHA / USDA loans: Often require termite documentation.
  • Pre-listing: Sellers use a WDIR to reduce surprises during buyer negotiations.
  • Annual peace-of-mind: Helpful for homes with crawlspaces, past termite history, or heavy moisture conditions.

What We Inspect During a WDIR

We inspect readily accessible areas typically associated with wood-destroying insect activity and conditions conducive to termites, including:

  • Exterior foundation and visible structural wood members
  • Crawlspace areas and piers (when accessible)
  • Basements and slab edges (where visible)
  • Interior trim, baseboards, window/door frames
  • Attached garages, porches, decks, and entry points

What we document

  • Visible evidence (mud tubes, damage, frass, exit holes)
  • Conducive conditions (moisture, wood-to-soil contact, drainage concerns, leaks)
  • Inspection limitations (blocked access, stored items, insulation, low clearance, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions – Termite Inspections & Wood Destroying Insect Reports

Is a WDIR the same thing as a termite inspection?

In most real estate situations, yes—people say “termite inspection,” but what they usually need is the official WDIR form that documents findings for closing or lending purposes.

Who can issue a WDIR in North Carolina?

A WDIR must be completed by a licensed structural pest control professional (or someone working under proper supervision), using the official state form and standards.

How long is a WDIR valid?

Many lenders/attorneys commonly accept about 30 days, but requirements can vary. The report reflects visible/accessible conditions on the day of inspection only.

Do you inspect for carpenter ants and powder post beetles too?

Yes. A proper wood-destroying insect inspection considers multiple pests that can damage structural wood—not just termites.

What can cause a “conducive conditions” notation?

Common examples include wood-to-soil contact, high crawlspace moisture, plumbing leaks, poor drainage, blocked crawlspace access, or heavy storage limiting inspection.

Will a WDIR find hidden termites inside walls?

No. A WDIR is limited to visible evidence and accessible areas. Hidden voids, finished walls, and concealed areas cannot be inspected.

Should buyers attend the termite inspection?

If possible, yes. It’s a great chance to see any noted conditions in person and ask questions about prevention or treatment options.

If termites are found, can you treat the home?

Yes. If activity or damage is documented, we can provide a written estimate for treatment options such as Termidor and other proven termite control methods.

Do you offer termite pre-treatments for new construction?

Yes—visit our Termite Pre-Treatment page to learn how we protect homes before they’re finished.

Do moisture problems increase termite risk?

Absolutely. Subterranean termites depend on moisture, and wet crawlspaces often attract both termites and other pests. Learn more about moisture control in Greenville, NC.
