Backed by a home inspection company
Gray Pest Control comes from the team behind Gray Home Inspections — so real estate inspections are in our DNA. We understand closing timelines, what lenders and underwriters look for, and how a clear, accurate WDO report keeps a transaction moving. When you refer a client to us, you're working with a team that does this work every day and knows how much is riding on getting it right and on time.
What the inspection includes
A WDO inspection looks for evidence of wood-destroying organisms — not just termites. In Florida that includes:
Subterranean termites
The most common wood-destroying threat in Northeast Florida.
Drywood termites
Which infest dry, sound wood above ground.
Wood-decaying fungi
Rot caused by moisture conditions.
Old house borers and other wood-boring beetles
Visible evidence, damage, and conducive conditions
Moisture and access points that invite future activity.
The findings are documented on the official Florida WDO inspection report (Form NPMA-33), signed by a licensed inspector.

WDO questions, answered.
What is a WDO inspection?
A wood-destroying organism inspection checks a home for evidence of termites, wood-decaying fungi, and wood-boring beetles, and documents the findings on the Florida WDO report (Form NPMA-33) used in real estate transactions.
Is a WDO inspection required to buy a home in Florida?
Many lenders — particularly for VA and some other loan types — require a WDO report before closing, and buyers often request one for peace of mind. Your lender or agent can confirm what your transaction needs.
How fast can you turn around a WDO report?
We schedule around your closing date and deliver the signed report promptly. Reach out with your timeline and we'll work to meet it.
What's the difference between a WDO inspection and a home inspection?
A home inspection evaluates the overall condition of the house; a WDO inspection specifically looks for wood-destroying organisms and produces the Form NPMA-33 report. As the team behind Gray Home Inspections, we're familiar with both.
Who pays for the WDO inspection?
That varies by transaction and is negotiated between buyer and seller — your real estate agent can advise on what's customary in your area.
What happens if the report finds termites?
If active wood-destroying organisms are found, we'll explain the findings and walk through treatment options, including Sentricon® baiting for termites. We can coordinate treatment on a timeline that works for the closing.
