VA Loans – Existing Homes
For Veterans and Active-Duty Service Members Buying an Existing Home
First, let us thank you for your service. If you’re purchasing an existing home using a VA loan, there’s one critical step in the home-buying process you should not overlook: a termite inspection.
Why It Matters
The Department of Veterans Affairs requires a Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) Inspection for most VA loans. This ensures the home is free from structural damage caused by termites or other wood-destroying pests.

New Builds – Pre-Treatment & WDO Clearance
For VA-Backed New Construction Homes
Even if you’re building from the ground up, termites don’t discriminate. A solid defense begins before the first wall is framed.
What’s Required?
For newly constructed homes purchased with VA loans, termite protection is still mandatory. This includes:
- Initial WDO Clearance (to certify no pre-existing activity)
- Pre-Construction Termite Treatment, such as:
- Liquid Termiticide Soil Treatments (if applied before pouring the slab)
- Termite Bait Stations (for homes already framed or nearing completion)
Barrier’s New Construction Services Include:
- Pre-Treatment Liquid Applications
Protects foundational elements before concrete is poured, creating an invisible barrier that keeps termites out. - Post-Build Baiting Systems

We provide full reports and documentation needed for loan closure, showing the home has met VA pest requirements.
