As defined by the state of Florida, a Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) Report is “a written report of an inspection on a home for visible and accessible evidence of an infestation or damage by wood destroying organisms.”
A WDO report may also be commonly called a “Termite Inspection,” “Clearance Letter,” or “Termite Letter.” A WDO inspection not only checks for subterranean termites and dry wood termites but also includes wood destroying beetles and wood decaying fungi. Carpenter ants and carpenter bees are NOT reportable as a wood destroying organism on Florida’s WDO form.
By Florida statute, a WDO report is provided when a home or other structure is being sold and the mortgage lender OR buyer requests the WDO inspection as part of the transaction. If an inspection is done for these purposes, the inspection must be reported on a specific report form as required by Florida Law (Chapter 482.226, Florida Statutes and Chapter 5E-14.142(2)(c), Florida Administrative Code).
Dampwood termites typically infest damp and decaying timber. This species is commonly found in the Pacific Coast states, such as Montana, Idaho, Northern Nevada, Oregon, Northern California and Washington. Other less damaging species are found in areas of the southwestern USA and South Florida.
Dampwood termites do not create shelter tubes as subterranean termites do. The appearance of timber damaged by dampwood termites can be varied but they always eat across the grain, consuming both spring and summerwood. While doing this, they make a series of chambers or galleries connected by tunnels whose walls are smooth as though they are finely ‘sandpapered.’
Drywood termites can infest and damage dry, sound wood. The specific locations of potential damage in a house include the roof sheathing, rafters, joists, siding, trim, steps, decks, porches, floors, subfloors, doors windows and their frames, furniture, walls, interior wood trim and furniture.
Drywood termites enter structures through attic or foundation vents, directly through or under wood shingles, under eaves and fascia boards, and through natural cracks, checks and joints in exposed wood trim, window and door frames and sills.
Subterranean termites build underground nests connected to above-ground food sources via mud tunnels. These underground termites are responsible for the majority of termite damage to homes and buildings in the U.S.
On average, there could be as many as 13 to 14 subterranean termite colonies per acre, which means that a typical home may easily have three to four colonies situated underneath or around it.
Subterranean termites cause more damage to homes in the U.S. than storms and fire combined; their colonies can contain up to 1,000,000 members.
The Formosan subterranean termite generally invades structures from the ground. They commonly enter through expansion joints, cracks and utility conduits in slabs. Any wood-to-ground contact is an inviting entrance for Formosan subterranean termite infestations. The flat roofs of high rise buildings, because they always pool rain water, are ideal places for the Formosan subterranean termite to initiate aerial infestations if portals of entry are found.
Studies also found that Formosan subterranean termites attack many species of living plants. The Formosan subterranean termite attacks structural lumbers and living plants because they are sources of cellulose.
