Pest & WDO Inspection in Fernley, Nevada

A pest inspection in Fernley is the first step for any homeowner who wants to know what is happening inside the walls, under the floor, and around the foundation. The technician inspects the foundation, the crawl space, the attic, the interior rooms, and the exterior, and produces a written report that covers active infestations, structural damage from wood-destroying organisms, and the conditions that attract pests. The inspection is free, and the report includes the findings, the recommended treatments, and the cost estimate.

For real estate transactions, the WDO (wood-destroying organism) inspection is the document that lenders and title companies require. It covers termite activity, dry rot, and fungal damage in the framing, the crawl space, and the foundation. The WDO report is the standard disclosure for Nevada home sales, and the inspection is formatted for the lender’s requirements.

What a pest inspection covers

• Foundation and crawl space — termite tubes, moisture damage, wood-destroying organisms, rodent droppings, and the conditions that attract pests. The Truckee Canal corridor keeps the soil damp in some areas, which increases the termite and the moisture risk.
• Attic — rodent nesting, bat guano, wasp nests, insulation damage, and the entry points that let wildlife in.
• Interior — cockroach activity, ant trails, bed bug evidence, and the moisture sources that attract pests.
• Exterior — foundation cracks, standing water, brush and debris near the house, and the perimeter conditions that invite pests from the rangeland.
• WDO documentation — for real estate: termite damage, dry rot, fungal damage, and the structural members affected.

How we conduct the inspection

1. Exterior walkthrough. The technician inspects the foundation, the grading, the drainage, the brush, and the perimeter, and identifies the conditions that attract pests.
2. Crawl space inspection. The technician enters the crawl space and examines the foundation, the piers, the sill plate, and the framing for termite tubes, moisture damage, and wood-destroying organisms.
3. Attic inspection. The technician checks the attic for rodent nesting, bat guano, wasp nests, insulation damage, and the entry points in the roof and the soffits.
4. Interior inspection. The technician inspects the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedrooms, and the living areas for cockroach activity, ant trails, and bed bug evidence.
5. Written report. The findings are documented in a written report that covers the active infestations, the structural damage, the conditions that attract pests, and the recommended treatments with cost estimates.

What a pest inspection costs in Fernley

When to schedule a pest inspection

• Buying a home — most lenders require a WDO inspection before closing. Schedule the inspection early so the findings can be addressed before the closing date.
• Selling a home — a clean pest inspection is a selling point. The WDO report shows the buyer that the structure is sound.
• Annual maintenance — a yearly inspection catches the early termite activity, the rodent intrusion, and the moisture problems before they become expensive.
• After a pest sighting — if you see termites, cockroaches, rodents, or other pests, the inspection confirms the extent and the treatment approach.

A pest inspection in Fernley is free, and the written report tells you exactly what the foundation, the crawl space, and the attic are hiding. Whether you are buying, selling, or maintaining the home, the inspection is the most cost-effective step you can take.
