Wood-destroying insect inspection add-on services.
Don’t let pests destroy your nest.
Wood-destroying organisms (WDOs) are destructive property invaders with unsavory habits that can do serious damage to your property. While termites are the most infamous, they are not the only ones, and each type of leaves its own unique trail.
With more than 6,000 inspections in the Tulsa-area under our belts, our pest inspection professionals can spot the signs of termites and other wood-destroying insects. We are fully licensed, so you don’t have to turn to a 3rd party vendor. We’re also supported by state-of-the-art, non-invasive technology which we use to locate moisture that can lead to pest activity. Don’t let a pest wreck your nest—schedule a termite and pest add-on inspection with us.
Our process and what we inspect.
The three most common wood-destroying organisms (WDOs) in Tulsa and the surrounding areas are termites, carpenter ants, and carpenter bees. Termites actually eat wood, so they are the most destructive WDO, but carpenter ants and carpenter bees can do serious damage too, as they burrow into wood to build their nests. To make sure your home or commercial property hasn’t been invaded by termites or other WDOs, we look for the following issues during our pest inspections.
Sawdust piles; excrement stains on wood; ½” holes in wood for nests.
Wood shavings; dead insects; other debris near nest openings.
Discarded wings; dead flying termites; termite tubes/exit holes; damaged wood; squeaky floorboards; spongy wood; soil in wood cracks and crevices; rot; damage at drywall and crawl spaces.

Frequent issues we find.
Every property is different, but after 6,000 inspections we’ve seen that these are the most common wood destroying organism and termite issues in the Tulsa area.
Carpenter Ants
These ants have segmented bodies and make their home in wood which can cause significant damage.
Termites
In Oklahoma, we have subterranean termites. These eat cellulose and can cause significant damage.
Carpenter Bees
Preferring unpainted wood, these bees make their nests by drilling holes.
