In the summer of 2017 the NPMA Wood Destroying Organism began a comprehensive review of the NPMA-33, the “Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report.” The NPMA-33, is widely used by the industry and is the primary WDI inspection form in 36 of the 50 states. The NPMA-33 (originally the NPCA-1) was last updated in 2004, it was determined that this was an appropriate time to reevaluate the form and ensure it is accomplishing it’s intended objectives and remains useful to the industry. The committee has held several workshops to discuss the form, but now is the time to get input from those of you that are using the form.
If you work in a state that uses the NPMA-33 as the primary inspection form we would request your input to better inform the Committee. We have created a short eight question online survey. The information you provide will be used to determine next steps and if edits or updates are needed to the form. Thank you for your time, if you have any questions please contact Andrew Bray at abray@pestworld.org.

Q: I have a client with a tremendous springtail issue. I found most of the springtails along the foundation of the customer’s house about 2-3″ down into the soil. She has some old mulch (of course holding moisture). But the springtails are also getting into the house, and onto the tile floor of the basement and her kitchen countertop. From my inspections, there are no moisture problems inside and it is a very clean house! Do you have any suggestions?
