You may not realise that you have a wood borer problem until the resulting damage becomes visible, so early identification is key before they cause more harm.

Signs of Wood Borer

1. Fresh exit holes in timber - round or oval shaped with sharp edges, the holes will appear clean and fresh.
2. Tunnels in the wood - also known as 'galleries' which are often hard to see.
3. Bore dust - (also known as frass) caused by emerging adult beetles, and are usually visible below the infested timber.
4. Dead beetles - usually found near the infested timber or around nearby window sills.
5. Adult beetles - emerge from timbers between May and October.
6. Eggs - these vary in size depending on the beetle, but all are difficult to spot with the naked eye.
7. Wood Borer larvae - usually a creamy-white colour and curved in shape.

Can I do myself?

Do-it-yourself methods of Wood borer control often fall short of success. Our trained pest control professionals seek out borer infestation. This allows them to locate and eradicate the entire colony. Oftentimes.

Our process:

1. Survey: - we will carry out a survey and report our findings
2. Injection: - uses a chemical injection to treat the affected area to reduce the growing stages of pests inside the wood.
3. Follow-ups - We Seal the Cracks& Crevices and foam the gaps.
