Woodworm refers to the larvae stage of wood-boring beetles, commonly found in households from early spring to mid-autumn. Often, homeowners detect woodworm after the infestation has spread. While the beetles remain elusive, their presence is marked by small round holes on timber surfaces, accompanied by wood dust near vertical structures. Weak and damaged flooring may indicate woodworm damage, necessitating investigation by a preservation specialist.

Woodworm Treatment

For the most effective woodworm treatment, it’s essential to identify active infestations, which can be challenging without visual clues. Woodworm larvae typically reside deep within timber and only produce recognizable exit holes once they mature into beetles.

At Zenith Damp Co, our experienced preservation specialists employ the correct chemical insecticides to fully eradicate woodworm infestations. We apply a water-based insecticidal fluid to the wood surface, targeting both larvae within the wood and emerging beetles. In cases where timber structures are beyond repair, we may recommend complete replacement with new pre-treated timbers. Trust us to tackle your woodworm problem with precision and expertise.

Woodworm Prevention

As wood-boring beetles follow a 3-year life cycle, woodworm infestations in timber or furniture may not become apparent until years after the items are brought into your property. Tackling such infestations requires the application of a residual insecticide to affected areas. Due to the chemical nature of these products, it’s essential to entrust their application to professional woodworm treatment contractors.

Attempting to address the infestation independently with simple aerosol insecticide sprays is often ineffective. At Zenith Damp Co, our technicians are trained and qualified to safely utilize chemicals, ensuring the thorough eradication of wood-boring beetles from your property. Rely on our expertise to effectively eliminate woodworm infestations and safeguard your home.
