Woodworm Treatments
Woodworm Infestation or Wood Boring Beetle, as it is commonly referred to, is found in many residential and commercial buildings. Damage to timbers can occur, as wood boring beetles are able to use wood as a food source.
The most common infestations are from the Common Furniture Beetle, however other species such as Death Watch Beetle, Lyctus Powder Post Beetle and House Longhorn Beetle may be found.
We offer a comprehensive range of woodworm treatment services.
We do not charge to inspect the property and to provide a report / quotation.
Correct identification of insect attack is essential in ensuring effective treatment.
Where woodworm treatment is required, our product range includes water based, low odour preservatives which in many instances, require properties to be vacated for only short periods of time. Full details are provided for each specific project, following a site inspection and risk assessment by our Surveyor. The most common method for woodworm treatment on timber floors, involves exposing the timbers by lifting floorboards in a parallel manner to gain access to the sub floor void.
The joists, wall plates, bearers, sub floor timbers and the underside of the floorboards are then treated using our insecticidal timber preservative. Our Insecticide is specially formulated for deep penetration into the timbers, in order to ensure eradication of existing woodworm infestations and future protection of the timbers. Treatments are completed by our own skilled operatives and most woodworm treatments are completed within one day.
