Selling a home, refinancing, or just want peace of mind?

Termite Inspection & WDO Reports in Fresno & the Central Valley
ABOUT THE SERVICE
A termite inspection in California isn’t just a walkthrough — it produces a formal Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) report used in real estate transactions, refinancing, and lender approvals. That report separates findings into two categories: Section 1, active infestations or damage that typically must be treated and repaired before a loan is approved, and Section 2, conditions likely to cause future problems (like earth-to-wood contact or moisture issues) that don’t require immediate treatment but are worth knowing about.
Valley Wide Pest Control provides these inspections for Fresno-area homeowners, home sellers, buyers, and real estate professionals, using a licensed inspector to evaluate the structure, document findings accurately, and issue the report your escrow company, lender, or agent needs — with the option to move directly into treatment through our Termite Control service if active termites are found.

Benefits
Why Fresno homeowners and real estate professionals choose Valley Wide for termite inspections:
Meets lender and escrow requirements
Reports are structured around California’s Section 1/Section 2 format that lenders (including FHA and VA loans) and escrow companies expect.
One company for inspection and treatment
If a Section 1 finding requires treatment, we can provide it directly and issue the “Notice of Work Completed” needed for clearance — no coordinating between separate companies.
Clear, honest reporting
Findings are documented accurately, without inflating Section 1 classifications to generate unnecessary repair work.
Fast turnaround
Real estate transactions run on deadlines — we prioritize scheduling around escrow timelines.
Local expertise
A Fresno-based, veteran-led team familiar with the termite pressure and construction types common across Central Valley homes.
Termite Inspection & WDO Reports in Fresno & the Central Valley
Our Process
Inspection
A technician inspects the property (mattress seams, box springs, headboards, baseboards, outlets, furniture joints) to confirm bed bugs and identify every affected area.
Treatment Plan
Based on the inspection, we recommend heat treatment, chemical treatment, or a combined approach, along with prep instructions for the household (laundering, decluttering, etc.).
Treatment
Follow-Up Inspection
A return visit confirms the treatment worked and checks for any remaining activity, with additional treatment applied if needed.
Prevention Guidance
Homeowners and property managers receive guidance on reducing reinfestation risk (travel precautions, secondhand furniture inspection, etc.).
Scheduling
We schedule the inspection around your escrow timeline, listing deadline, or personal preference.
Full Property Inspection
A licensed inspector examines accessible areas of the structure — including crawlspaces, attics, foundations, and areas prone to earth-to-wood contact or moisture — for termite activity and conducive conditions.
Report Preparation
Findings are documented and categorized as Section 1 (active infestation/damage) or Section 2 (conducive conditions), following California’s standard WDO report format.
Report Delivery
The completed report is provided to you and, where applicable, directly to your escrow company, lender, or real estate agent.
Treatment & Clearance (if needed)
If Section 1 findings are identified, we can provide treatment and issue a “Notice of Work Completed” to satisfy lender clearance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a termite inspection to sell my house in California?
While California doesn’t universally mandate a termite inspection for every home sale, lenders — particularly for FHA and VA loans — frequently require a clear WDO report before approving financing, and many purchase agreements and escrow instructions call for one as a standard part of the transaction.
What is a Section 1 termite report?
A Section 1 finding documents active termite infestation or damage — such as live termites or active dry rot — that typically must be treated and repaired before a lender will approve a loan on the property.
What is a Section 2 termite report?
A Section 2 finding documents conditions likely to lead to future termite or wood-destroying organism problems, such as earth-to-wood contact or moisture issues, without current active damage. These generally aren’t required to be fixed before closing but are worth addressing.
How long is a termite inspection report valid?
Termite inspection reports used for lender clearance are typically valid for a limited window (commonly around four months) from the inspection date — check your specific report and lender requirements for the exact timeframe.
If termites are found, do I have to hire the same company for treatment?
No — you can choose any licensed company for treatment. Valley Wide can provide both the inspection and, if needed, the treatment and clearance documentation, which some homeowners prefer for convenience and continuity.
How much does a termite inspection cost?
Cost depends on property size and inspection type (standard WDO report vs. pre-listing inspection). We provide a written estimate before scheduling
