Wood Destroying Insects

Commonly known as simply a “termite inspection,” a Wood Destroying Insect Inspection is a comprehensive inspection that identifies evidence and damage from termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and powder post beetles. This is NOT included with a standard home inspection in Massachusetts, and requires specific training and registration with the New England Pest Management Association.

Despite damages costing U.S. homeowners over $5 billion a year from termite damage alone, wood destroying insect damage is generally not covered by homeowners insurance. It is no wonder why many home loans require a termite inspection.
