OPM Termite Practice Exam

When must a supplemental WDIIR be filed?

1. Within 30 days of the pest treatment

2. Within 60 days of the inspection

3. Within 30 days of original and by the original inspector

4. Only when requested by the client

The correct answer is: Within 30 days of original and by the original inspector

A supplemental WDIIR, or Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection Report, must be filed within 30 days of the original inspection and must be completed by the inspector who conducted the initial inspection. This requirement ensures that any additional findings or necessary follow-ups related to wood-destroying insects are documented in a timely fashion, providing a continuous record for the client. Filing within this timeframe upholds the integrity of the inspection process, allowing any changes or developments in conditions to be officially recorded and communicated. This helps maintain accurate documentation of property statuses, which is particularly important in real estate transactions where buyers and sellers depend on current and reliable information about pest conditions.
