Form 13671 - Consumer consent form
What should you have got signed by using the purchaser BEFORE getting into a contract on a
assets this is currently beneath an energetic WDO guarantee?
Study MATH + LABEL questions too!
Wood destroying organism = an arthropod OR fungus that damages and might reinfest
seasoned wooden in a shape
(Termites, powderpost beetles, old residence borers, wood-decaying fungi)
What is a WDO? What are the four classes of WDOs defined by means of nation statutes?
,Old House borer (a longhorned beetle/cerambycid)
Which wooden-infesting pest normally leaves heavy harm in finished SOFTwood with the ONLY
outside proof being 1-2 oval go out holes? Typical control is fumigation for heavy infestations.
Bark beetles
Which timber-infesting pest is determined in hard, bark-included wooden leaving small go out
holes 1/8 inch diameter with inner aspect of bark/wood surface "engraved" with galleries (NOT
large tunnels)? The harm is antique, will now not reinfest dried wooden, and NO manage is
needed. The powder is the same color because the bark.
Ambrosia beetles
Which wood-infesting pest leaves pinholes and slender galleries in sapwood/southern yellow
pine, leaving burrows and vicinity around them stained dark via the motion of fungi? The
damage is vintage, will no longer re-infest dried timber, and control may not be required.
Subterranean termites
Which timber-infesting pest leaves NO openings (or VERY few + sealed over), has extensive
galleries jogging lengthwise in springwood which can be filled with tough/masticlike frass? They
may additionally infest antique cellulose gadgets near/in touch with soil.
Carpenter ants
Which wood-infesting pest timbers with giant galleries which are sandpaper clean with rounded
edges and contain NO frass? There can be coarse sawdust found near their harm.
Carpenter bees
, Which timber-infesting pest leaves spherical ENTRY holes in timber close to the
aspect/side/cease that lead into long tunnels (three-24 inches). The holes flip at proper angles
and tunnels run WITH grain of wood.
