Texas is in a moderate to high risk area for termites, making it very important to perform a Wood Destroying Insect Inspection when purchasing a house. A wood destroying insect inspection is not just a termite inspection and is typically required by lenders. The inspector also looks for conditions that might lead to an infestation along with a host of other wood destroying insects like carpenter ants, carpenter bees, or wood boring beetles.
Other pests like roaches, rats, or scorpions are not included in a typical wood destroying insect inspection, nor is the inspector concerned with conducive conditions for disease carrying pests like mosquitoes.
