Which structure would typically be included in a WDO inspection?

In a Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection, single-family homes are typically included due to their permanent nature and the likelihood of wood materials being present, which are susceptible to damage from termites and other wood-destroying organisms. Inspecting single-family homes is crucial because these structures often serve as the primary living spaces for individuals and families. The inspection process aims to identify any signs of infestations, damage, or conducive conditions that may promote the presence of termites or other pests.

Other structures such as temporary fences, storage sheds without foundations, and landscaping features, while they may contribute to a property's overall pest management strategy, do not usually undergo the same rigorous inspection protocols as single-family homes. Temporary structures and items that lack a permanent foundation may not harbor the same level of risk or structural integrity issues associated with WDOs. Consequently, these would not typically be prioritized during a professional WDO inspection aimed at protecting the main living quarters of a property.
