We’re excited to introduce a new built-in report template that aligns with the official NPMA-33 format, the standardized form approved by HUD for federally backed mortgages when a wood-destroying insect (WDI) inspection is required. This form is essential for real estate transactions in many states and must be completed with precision, without altering its structure or language.
What Is the NPMA-33 Form?
The NPMA-33 is issued by the National Pest Management Association and is the only accepted document for reporting WDI inspection findings under federal loan programs. It covers the identification of termites, carpenter ants, powder post beetles, and other WDIs, making it a critical part of the home-buying process.
Key Sections of the Form
Our digital NPMA-33 template mirrors the official format and includes the following sections:
Inspection Findings – Records visible signs of infestation or damage by WDIs.
Obstructions or Inaccessible Areas – List areas that could not be inspected and explain why.
Treatment Recommendations – Indicates whether treatment is required, recommended, or not necessary.
Conditions Conducive to Infestation – Identifies environmental or structural issues that may promote infestations.
Inspector and Company Certification – Automatically includes licensing details and digital signatures.
Buyer Acknowledgment – Provides a space for the buyer to sign and confirm receipt of the report.
Template Objectives
Our goal is to eliminate the need for paper forms or scanned documents by offering a streamlined, digital version of the NPMA-33 that is:
Accurate
Compliant
Professional
This enhances the efficiency of pest inspection workflows and ensures your reports meet industry and regulatory standards.
