You need the NPMA-33 back before the contingency runs out, and you need to not think about it again after you’ve booked it. That is the entire product. $99, next business day, report as a PDF the same day we inspect, invoiced at closing.
How we work with agents
Next business day, usually
Often same day when a closing is tight. Tell us the deadline when you book and we will tell you immediately whether we can hit it — rather than saying yes and calling you back on Thursday.
The report goes out the day we inspect
NPMA-33 as a PDF, to you and to anyone else on the distribution list you give us. No waiting on an office to type it up.
We coordinate access ourselves
Give us the lockbox code or the tenant’s number and we’ll handle it. You do not need to meet us there.
Invoiced at closing
Standard for transaction work. We invoice the title company and it settles on the HUD — no chasing a client for a card number while you’re trying to close.
One person, every time
You will have the owner’s cell number. When a lender questions a line on the form at 4:45pm, you are not opening a support ticket.
If the report finds something
This is where most transactions get stuck, so we try to make it the fastest part instead of the slowest.
We quote treatment on the spot, in writing, the same day — so the buyer and seller are negotiating against a real number instead of an unknown. If treatment proceeds, the $99 inspection fee comes off it, and we issue the completion documentation your lender needs.
We are a licensed termite company, not only an inspection service. The person telling you what the finding means is the person who would fix it, which tends to shorten the conversation considerably.
The re-inspection
If a prior treatment or repair needs verifying before closing, we handle the re-inspection and issue the updated documentation. Book it as soon as the repair is scheduled rather than after — it is the single most common reason a WDI holds up a closing by a week.
Referral partners
If you are sending us volume, talk to us about a standing partner rate and priority scheduling. We would rather build a small number of real relationships than advertise to strangers, and this is a two-person company — we can actually answer the phone.
What to tell your client
Two things save you a conversation later:
A WDI report is visual and limited to accessible areas. We do not open walls, pull flooring, or move stored belongings. A finished basement or a packed crawl space limits what anyone can see, and the report says so where that applies. Buyers occasionally read a clear report as a guarantee. It is not, and the form says as much.
A finding is not a deal-killer. Subterranean termites are common in the Miami Valley and treatable. Most of these become a price negotiation, not a collapsed contract.
Frequently asked questions
How much notice do you need?
Next business day is normal. Call us for same day and we will give you a straight answer about whether it’s possible.
Do you serve my area?
Montgomery and Greene counties routinely — Oakwood, Beavercreek, Centerville, Vandalia, and the rest of the Miami Valley. Ask about anything outside that.
Can you do the WDI and a general pest treatment on the same visit?
Yes, if the property is occupied and the owner wants it. Tell us when booking.
Who signs the form?
A licensed inspector. Ohio requires a specific license to perform wood-destroying insect inspections for real estate transactions, and reports written without it are not worth the paper.
How do you handle vacant properties and tenants?
Lockbox is fine. For tenant-occupied, give us the contact and we’ll schedule around them — Ohio requires reasonable notice and we’d rather be the ones to arrange it than put that on you.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you turn around a WDI inspection for a closing?
Transaction timelines get priority scheduling — 48-hour turnarounds are routine in season, and rush situations are worth a phone call because we will move a route stop for a closing date. Call (937) 569-3330 with the address and the deadline.
What do agents need to know about Ohio WDI licensing?
Treating termites (10B) and certifying houses for lenders (Category 12, the NPMA-33 report) are different licenses — a distinction that matters when a listing needs both diagnosis and paperwork. Ask us about current report arrangements when you call; treatment of anything found is core service either way.
What makes a house fail a WDI inspection?
Nothing “fails” — the NPMA-33 documents what is visible: active insects, evidence, damage, prior treatment, conducive conditions. Lenders and negotiations decide consequences. The practical agent question is which findings obligate treatment versus which just need disclosure, and we walk that line item by item.
Can sellers get ahead of the termite question before listing?
Smart ones do — a pre-listing inspection surfaces evidence while there is time to treat quietly and document properly, converting a deal-threatening surprise into a closed file with paperwork. Free suspicion inspections make this an easy recommendation.
What are the common termite findings in Dayton-area listings?
Old inactive damage in century-home sill plates (repair-negotiation territory), active tubes on stone foundations, conducive-condition flags on newer builds (mulch over grade, deck posts), and undocumented decades-old treatments — each with a different negotiation playbook.
A deal is stalled over termite findings. What are the options?
Usually three: seller treats with documentation before close, price credit sized to treatment-plus-repair quotes, or escrow holdback pending completion. Our itemized quotes are built to be negotiation instruments — numbers both sides can verify against the published formula.
Do you offer agent-referral relationships?
We offer something better for your reputation: honest reports at transaction speed, quotes your clients can check against public pricing pages, and no invented findings — referral relationships survive on the inspector never embarrassing the agent. That is the product.
What does treatment cost when a transaction requires it?
Bait installs for most homes run $675–$915 (published formula, computed from perimeter), liquid knockdown quoted where heavy activity warrants — both itemized for the negotiation file and scheduled to closing timelines.
Does new termite treatment transfer to the buyer?
Bait-system monitoring contracts transfer cleanly — a genuine listing asset (“termite protection included”) — and treatment documentation conveys with the house. We paper everything specifically so it survives a closing.
How should agents route termite questions mid-transaction?
Directly — call or text photos to (937) 569-3330 and we will read tubes, wings, or damage from images same-day, tell you whether it is a real problem or a cosmetic ghost, and only schedule the visit if the photo genuinely warrants one.
Ready to book? The scheduling page has everything on one screen — every detail we need, pay now or at closing: book a WDI inspection. Bookmark it; it’s built to be your one-tap booking tool.
And the question every deal eventually asks — who pays for the termite inspection? — now has its own plain-English answer, including the 2022 VA change many contracts still miss.
Where We Inspect
Every market reads differently — century stock in Oakwood, brick veneer in Huber Heights, slabs in Vandalia, flood-plain crawls in Troy — and we’ve written a local inspection guide for each one. Same $99, same NPMA-33, same next-business-day standard everywhere; the local pages cover what inspections actually find in each city’s housing:
Working somewhere not listed? We cover all eight counties — Montgomery, Greene, Miami, Clark, Warren, Butler, Preble, and Darke. Book any address and we’ll take it from there.
Investor clients: your buyers who keep properties get their own program — $99 lockbox turnover treatments and member rates through the GDP Portfolio Program.
