WDO Inspection in Fort Myers
40 Years of Local Pest Knowledge, Built Into Every WDO Inspection
Fort Myers’ heat and humidity keep wood destroying organisms active year-round, and many mortgage lenders require a WDO inspection before financing a home purchase. Security Termite & Pest Control has been serving Fort Myers and Lee County since 1985, and our licensed inspectors bring that local knowledge to every property we examine. We’re locally owned, not a franchise, which means the team that inspects your property knows this market.
We also maintain a dedicated realtor program with special rates for agents managing multiple transactions. Whether you’re a buyer, a seller, or an agent working to keep a closing on schedule, we’re a single partner for inspection and any treatment that follows.

Forty-plus years in Southwest Florida means we’ve inspected properties across the full range of construction styles, ages, and pest histories found in Lee County. We know what subterranean and drywood termites look like in this climate, where wood-boring beetles tend to show up, and what moisture conditions signal elevated fungal risk. That familiarity translates directly into thorough inspections.
Our realtor program is built around the reality of real estate closings. Agents who partner with us get competitive rates and a team that can deliver reports without putting added pressure on a closing schedule. And if an inspection turns up active organisms or prior damage, we handle treatment in-house, including termite control and tent fumigation, so there’s no scramble to find a second company mid-transaction.
We strive to keep your home safe and pest-free every day. If you’re happy with our service, please take a moment to leave us a 5-star review. Your kind words help us grow and continue protecting more families like yours!

What a WDO Inspection Covers
A WDO inspection is a visual examination of accessible and visible areas of a structure for evidence of wood destroying organisms, including termites, wood-boring beetles, and wood-decaying fungi. In Florida, the inspection must be performed by a licensed pest control company, and the findings are recorded on a state-required report form. That document, the WDO report, is what lenders, buyers, and sellers rely on at closing.
The WDO report documents four categories of findings: evidence of live wood destroying organisms, evidence of previous infestation, evidence of previous treatment, and conditions conducive to future activity. Lenders financing a Fort Myers home purchase frequently require this report before approving the loan. For everyone in the transaction, it provides a clear, documented picture of the property’s structural condition as it relates to pest damage.

Who Needs a WDO Inspection in Fort Myers
The short answer is anyone involved in a property transaction, though each party uses the inspection differently.
- Homebuyers gain documented evidence of pest condition before closing. A WDO report can inform purchase price negotiations or support seller-required remediation before the sale proceeds.
- Sellers listing a property can commission a WDO inspection before going to market, identifying issues proactively rather than learning about them once a buyer’s contingency is already in play.
- Realtors need a reliable inspection partner who delivers reports quickly. Our realtor program is built around that need, with special rates and a team that understands closing deadlines.
- Investors evaluating Fort Myers properties use WDO inspections to assess true structural condition before committing capital to a purchase.
If a WDO inspection we conduct reveals active organisms or prior damage, we can move directly to treatment. Our services include termite control and tent fumigation, which means the transaction can keep moving without waiting for a separate pest company to get involved.
