WDI Inspections in Austin, TX

Clear Findings for Your Austin Property Transaction

A WDI inspection documents visible activity or evidence that could matter when you’re buying or selling a home. Barefoot Mosquito & Pest Control provides WDI inspections in Austin for buyers, sellers, homeowners, and real estate professionals who need clear information about a property.

Our licensed Texas technicians inspect the home for signs of infestation. We explain what we observed, distinguish the report from a structural assessment, and help you understand the findings without creating unnecessary alarm.

The Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report

WDI inspections associated with Texas property transactions must be documented on the Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report, Form SPCS/T-5. The report discloses the visually detected presence or absence of WDI activity and evidence of its existence in a home, building, or other inspected structure.

Texas requires the report to be performed and signed by a licensed certified applicator or technician in the termite control category. A Texas Real Estate Commission home inspector license by itself doesn’t authorize someone to complete and sign Form SPCS/T-5.

Limits of the Report
The report doesn’t warrant that an infestation is absent. Because the inspection is visual, concealed activity can exist in inaccessible areas or behind finished surfaces. The report also doesn’t establish or guarantee the structural integrity of the building.

Insects & Visible Evidence Covered

Our inspection looks for visible activity or evidence involving termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles. It documents observable insect concerns rather than diagnosing every possible condition affecting the property.

Evidence of these insects can influence discussions between buyers and sellers, but it isn’t a reason to panic. The parties can review the specific findings, ask questions, and decide how to address the information within the transaction.

What to Expect from Your Austin WDI Inspection

When you contact us, a technician can provide a fast quote, often within an hour. We then arrange a thorough property inspection to identify visible pest activity and document the conditions present during the visit.

Our technician assesses pest evidence, possible entry points, and contributing conditions. We explain our observations and recommendations in straightforward language so you can distinguish what the report documents from what may require a separate evaluation.

If the report identifies insect evidence or conditions conducive to infestation, the buyer, seller, and transaction professionals can review the findings and determine the appropriate next steps. The findings provide information for the parties to evaluate, but they don’t establish the structural condition of the building.

How to Read Common Form SPCS/T-5 Findings

The Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report separates several types of observations. These distinctions help transaction participants discuss what the inspector saw without making assumptions about damage, treatment, or repair needs.

Active Infestation
For subterranean or Formosan termites, active infestation may be marked only when live termites are observed on the structure during the inspection. Other visible termite evidence without live termites is generally identified as previous infestation.
Previous Infestation
This finding means the inspector observed evidence associated with earlier insect activity, but the evidence required for an active designation wasn’t present. On its own, it doesn’t determine the current structural condition or whether additional work is needed.
Evidence of Previous Treatment
The inspector may record visible signs that a prior treatment occurred. This notation doesn’t establish that the earlier treatment was complete or successful.

Conditions That May Encourage Infestation

Conducive conditions are property features or circumstances associated with the potential for WDI activity. The report may identify:

Wood-to-ground contact
Excessive moisture
Debris under or around the structure
Insufficient ventilation
Wood rot
Wood piles or fences in contact with the structure

These observations don’t confirm an active infestation. They identify specific conditions for the transaction participants to consider alongside the rest of the report.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quarterly treatments work best for Round Rock homes. Central Texas’s warm climate keeps pests active nearly year-round, with different seasonal peaks: mosquitoes and ants in spring/summer, rodents in fall/winter, and termites swarming in spring. Quarterly service maintains a protective barrier.
Look for droppings in cabinets or along baseboards, gnaw marks on food packaging, scratching sounds in walls or ceilings at night, grease marks along travel routes, and nesting material in attic spaces. Our technicians can identify the species and entry points during a free inspection.
Termite swarming in Round Rock typically occurs March through May. Williamson County’s limestone terrain and clay soils support year-round underground termite activity, but spring is when swarmers are most visible near windows and foundation walls. If you notice small winged insects or discarded wings, contact us for a free inspection.

Areas & Structures Covered by the Inspection

A Texas WDI inspection examines visible, accessible areas in or on the structure. Accessible attics and crawl spaces must be inspected, while concealed or inaccessible locations remain outside the scope of a visual report.

The Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report generally covers the primary dwelling, multifamily structure, or place of business identified for inspection. Detached garages, sheds, fences, guest houses, and similar detached features aren’t automatically included. They must be listed in Section 5 of Form SPCS/T-5 when they’re part of the requested inspection.

A diagram is attached for each inspected structure. It records approximate perimeter measurements and marks areas associated with current activity, previous activity, and conducive conditions, giving the parties a visual reference for the documented observations.
