You’re probably wondering what a WDIR is, who to call to get one, and the importance of the inspection. Viking Pest is here to answer all your questions, read below to learn more about WDIRs.

What is a WDIR?

A Wood Destroying Insect Report includes information on either the presence or absence of wood-destroying insects such as termites. Some states, including New Jersey, make it mandatory to have a WDIR before a lending institution gives a potential buyer a mortgage.

The Importance of a WDIR

When receiving a WDIR, you will obtain a legal certificate stating that a pest management professional has inspected your home for damage and/or the presence of wood destroying insects such as termites. If your home does not have any evidence of wood destroying insects, you will receive a signed certificate stating that your home is safe and free of damage.
