Arizona termite inspection and WDIIR guide
Arizona publishes its own Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection Report. It records visible evidence and inaccessible areas and is not a structural report, mold report, warranty, or promise that concealed activity is absent. Here is when the report comes up and how to check the pest-control company or applicator involved.
Pest-control regulator
Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division

Arizona Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection Report
When it comes up
- VA loan purchases. Arizona sits on the VA's whole-state list, so a VA-financed home here typically needs wood-destroying insect information, unless one of the VA's property-type or appraisal exceptions applies. source
- Arizona real estate inspections. Arizona does not order a WDI inspection for every sale. When one is performed for a transaction, the Department's WDIIR requirements govern the report and certified applicator. source
Need the inspection done?
Enter the property's city or ZIP code to see the licensed companies PestPin matches to termite work there, with the phone number wherever the state record lists one, so you can call one today.
Our records show each company's license, not which companies write the Arizona Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection Report, so ask that when you call.
Find and check an Arizona pest-control company
PestPin carries 651 source-linked Arizona pest-control business records. Arizona requires the WDIIR to be completed by a certified applicator in the wood-destroying organism management category. Verify the applicator and business credentials with the Department of Agriculture.
Arizona inspection questions
Is a termite inspection required for every Arizona home sale?
No. Arizona does not make one automatic for every sale. A lender or contract can require it, and VA loan processing lists Arizona as a statewide WDI jurisdiction.
Who can complete an Arizona WDIIR?
A certified applicator in Arizona's wood-destroying organism management category. Verify the individual and business records before ordering the report.
Does an Arizona WDIIR guarantee the home is termite-free?
No. It reports evidence visible in accessible areas on the inspection date and identifies inaccessible areas. It is not a warranty or an evaluation of structural damage.
