What's a WDI/Pest Inspection?

A WDI (Wood-Destroying Insect) inspection is important to identify and address potential infestations by pests like termites or carpenter ants. These insects can cause significant damage to the structural integrity of a property.

Why are Pest Inspections Important?

Wood damage from wood destroying insects found during a termite inspection

Protect your Central Kentucky home from hidden damage caused by termites and other wood-destroying insects. Our termite and WDI inspections are designed to uncover infestations early—before they lead to costly repairs. WDI inspections are offered as an add-on to a home inspection.

 

Whether you’re buying a home in Lexington, selling property in Georgetown, or maintaining a farmhouse in Versailles, a professional WDI inspection in Central Kentucky is an essential part of responsible homeownership.

 

Why Termite Inspections Matter in Kentucky

Central Kentucky’s warm, humid climate makes it an ideal environment for termites, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, and other wood-destroying insects. These pests can quietly chew away at your home’s structure, causing thousands of dollars in damage—often before you even know they’re there.

 

When to Schedule a WDI Inspection:

  • Before purchasing a home: Ensure you’re making a sound investment with a certified termite inspection.
  • Before listing your home for sale: Boost buyer confidence and avoid closing delays with a clear inspection report.
  • With a homeowner’s home inspection: Catch pest activity early, especially in high-risk areas like crawlspaces and basements.

 

What’s Included in Our Central Kentucky WDI Inspections:

  • A comprehensive evaluation of accessible wood structures
  • Inspection of crawlspaces, basements, attics, porches, and exterior foundations
  • Identification of current infestations, evidence of past activity, and moisture conditions that attract pests
  • A detailed, easy-to-read report accepted by most real estate lenders and agencies

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★  5.0 on Google from 550+ reviews

“My wife and I used this home inspection service when considering a purchase of a 100+ year old house. Cheaper services were suggested to us by other people, but we wanted one that we felt we could trust. I’m glad we made that choice. Rosie Home Inspections found multiple items that were not disclosed, and saved us from possibly throwing tens of thousands of dollars down the drain (and into a crumbling foundation).”

“Kari is top notch. Super thorough, professional, and detailed. This is my second time using her for a home inspection, and she’s proven twice now that she’s the real deal. She doesn’t rush, she explains what she’s finding as she goes, and she flags things that matter without creating unnecessary panic over minor stuff.”

“She was so thorough, communicated well, has very competitive pricing, and took photos of everything as she went to put in the report along with the narrative. … Highly recommend! Also, being able to support women in a male-dominated occupation is a giant bonus for me!”

“Kari is very thorough … She pointed out everything and the additional tests for mold & radon all in one place was super convenient.”
Eric B.Google review
“Professional and very thorough, Kari with Rosie Inspections provided a great roadmap for what I can do post-sale to keep my new home running well. She pointed out a number of issues I would have completely neglected to ask the seller about, and was very diplomatic when we had to have a separate conversation with the original builder about some details of the new construction.”
Carrie T.Google review
“I have used Rosie Home Inspection 3 different times, each time more impressed with the quality and detail of the work. Kari is not only thorough but takes the time to explain in complete detail her findings. … After having her inspect three different homes, I know she is the best.”
