What you're preparing for

Wood-destroying insect inspection professional literacy

WDI inspections in Texas are performed under a Texas Department of Agriculture pest-control license. This academy builds the identification, evidence-recognition, and reporting literacy those inspectors rely on.

  • Subterranean, drywood, and Formosan termite biology
  • Other WDI — carpenter ants, powderpost beetles
  • Evidence of activity vs damage vs conducive
  • Slab, crawlspace, and attic inspection sequence
  • Texas WDI reporting overview
  • Diagrams and defensible documentation

DolaOS internal training only. Nothing on this page constitutes a claim of state licensure, HUD roster placement, or regulatory approval.
