Considering buying a home? WDIR's (Wood Destroying Insect Reports) are essential inspections to be done when you are considering buying a home. This inspection is one of the cheapest inspections conducted as part of a home buying experience, yet your home's structural integrity could hinge on it alone.

A current customer with our company at Bullseye Pest Control decided to skip the WDIR when purchasing their forever home. After a couple years, they noticed some soft spots in their bathroom floor. Assuming it was a plumbing issue in the crawlspace, they called a plumber. Through further investigation, they found out it was an active termite infestation damaging the structural integrity of their bathroom floor system. In the beginning, they could have conducted a $100 WDIR to find this issue beforehand. Once the project began, they had to gut their entire bathroom to fix the structural damage in the floor system. Once they completed the project it cost them roughly $17,000 they had not budgeted for when buying the home.

As part of a Wood Destroying Insect Report, our team at Bullseye Pest Control will inspect your home for all types of Wood Destroying Insects, and Wood Moisture in the crawlspace. Once your inspection is complete, we will provide you with documentation on what we found during our inspection. If there are any issues found during the inspection we will provide an estimate on what we can do to correct your current issues. On average, Wood Destroying Insects cause roughly $5 billion dollars a year in damage to homes across the United States. Wood Destroying moisture causes roughly $7 billion dollars a year in damage to homes across the United States.
