All Your Termite Questions
Answered
What is a WDI Report?
A WDI (Wood Destroying Insect) report is a specialized inspection required by most lenders for home purchases or refinances. It checks for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and wood-boring beetles. In the DMV, this report is essential for a smooth real estate closing, and PestNow provides these fast, digital reports to realtors and buyers to keep the process moving.
Does my homeowners' insurance cover termite damage?
Unfortunately, no. Standard homeowners' insurance in Virginia, Maryland, and DC almost never covers termite damage or repairs. This is why a professional warranty is so important—it acts as the protection your insurance company doesn't provide.
What type of termites do you protect against?
At PestNow, our protection plans are specifically designed to target these pests, which are the most common and destructive termites in the eastern United States. Unlike some pests that live entirely inside your wood, Eastern Subterranean termites live in the soil and build "mud tubes" to reach your home. Here is how we protect against them:
Targeting the "Silent Destroyer"
Eastern Subterranean termites are often called "silent destroyers" because they can chew through structural wood for years without being noticed. While there are thousands of termite species, the Eastern Subterranean termite is responsible for the vast majority of damage in Maryland. By focusing our treatments on their specific biology—like their need for moisture and their nesting habits in the soil—we can provide a much more effective defense for your home. PestNow technicians are experts at finding their hidden entry points and travel paths.
How do I know if I actually have termites or just ants?
It is very common for homeowners to confuse Termite Swarmers with Flying Ants, especially in the spring. Termites have straight antennae, equal-length wings, and a thick waist, whereas ants have elbowed antennae and "pinched" waists. PestNow provides professional inspections to give you a definitive ID so you don't pay for a termite treatment you might not need—or ignore a problem that is eating your home.
