Here in New Mexico everyone who inspects for WDO has to be licensed. Seems like that is the standard for most states. Now I don't see why an appraiser can't mention termites in his report but does that cause confusion and other problems I guess it would. If they are not licensed and it is a requirement of the state to be then why would they be doing termites. Doesn't seem to me like the appraiser board to the state would be approving that inspection. As far as I can tell not to many appraisers want to go into crawl spaces looking for bugs.
