WDO Inspection in Miami, FL: Who to Call (2026)

Few housing markets test wood harder than Miami. Year-round warmth and coastal humidity let termites work every month of the calendar, and the county hosts an unusually full roster of them: drywood colonies in the attic and window framing of older concrete-block houses, plus Formosan and Asian subterranean termites — two of the most aggressive species in the country — established across Miami-Dade. Much of the housing stock predates Hurricane Andrew's building-code overhaul, and constant condo and investor turnover keeps closings moving fast. That is exactly when a WDO report earns its keep: it documents live activity, old damage, and prior treatments before you sign. Buyers should schedule the inspection early in the contingency period and read the findings section closely — concrete construction does not make the roof framing immune.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do Miami WDO reports flag drywood termites in concrete-block homes?

Because the wood is still there — roof trusses, attic framing, door and window bucks, cabinetry. Drywood termites fly in during swarm season and settle directly into that lumber without ever touching soil, so a CBS shell offers little protection. In older Miami neighborhoods inspectors routinely check attics for frass, kickout holes, and hollowed members, which is why attic access matters on inspection day.

Who typically orders the WDO inspection in a Miami purchase?

Usually the buyer or the buyer's agent, since the report protects the purchaser and satisfies the lender. On VA transactions the inspection is mandatory and gets ordered during the loan process. Sellers sometimes commission one before listing to smooth negotiations, but lenders generally want a recent report from a licensed company, so confirm timing with your loan officer before relying on an older document.

Does a standard home inspection cover what the WDO inspection covers in Miami?

No. A home inspector may note suspicious damage, but only a licensed pest control company can issue Florida's official WDO report (FDACS form 13645), which is what lenders and VA underwriters accept. The WDO inspector specifically documents wood-destroying organisms — termites, wood-boring beetles, and wood-decay fungi — plus any prior treatment evidence. In Miami's termite climate, most buyers order both inspections together.

How many licensed WDO inspection companies serve Miami?

148 companies with Google business profiles hold an FDACS “Termite and Other WDO” license within about 30 miles of Miami, and 33 more Miami-based companies are listed in the FDACS registry without a Google profile.
