PEST (WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISMS) INSPECTION:

Abode Specialist Inspection Services, LLC, is insured and licensed to perform Wood Destroying Organisms (WDO) Inspections in Washington State.  Pest inspections (such as Carpenter Ants, Termites and Beetles) can be part of a complete home inspection or just a pest inspection. Through the efforts of industry and the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA), legislation was drafted to address WDO Inspections. House Bill 1156, passed by the 1991 Legislature, specifically required that the individual conducting WDO Inspections must obtain a license from WSDA. 

Wood Destroying Pests

Wood destroying pests are primarily termites and beetles, but the category of “pests” also include several other insects of less consequence.  Wood destroying organisms are categorized as fungi (often times called “dry rot”), and there are several varieties.
