Wood Borer Treatment is a professional pest management service for managing wood borer infestations in wooden and bamboo structures, furniture and other articles.
The service is designed to treat wood borer infestations by identifying affected areas and applying the appropriate treatment.
Every Wood Borer Treatment service begins with a Detailed Pest Inspection to assess wood borer activity, identify affected areas and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Wood Borer Treatment
Treatment methods are selected according to the level of infestation, the type of material and the findings during inspection. Depending on the assessment, the service may include treatment of furniture, doors, windows, wooden flooring, roof timbers, bamboo structures and other affected areas.
How we treat wood borer damage comes down to the extent of infestation, the type of material, and what the inspection finds.
Common signs of wood borer activity include small round or oval exit holes in wooden or bamboo surfaces; fine wood dust (frass) around affected areas; weakened or damaged wooden or bamboo structures, furniture or other articles; powdery residue beneath infested areas; and adult beetles emerging from infested wood or bamboo. A Detailed Pest Inspection is recommended to confirm wood borer activity and determine the appropriate treatment.
No. Treatment is intended to eliminate active wood borer infestations and help prevent further damage. Existing damage may require repair or replacement depending on its condition.

Yes, in many cases. However, treatment requirements depend on the level of infestation, the type of material and the findings during inspection. Additional treatment may be recommended where necessary.
Yes, when applied as recommended. Treated areas are typically left to dry or cure before normal use resumes, and any specific precautions will be explained before treatment begins.
Sometimes. Where infestation is active, isolating affected furniture can help prevent it from spreading to unaffected pieces — we'll advise on this during inspection if it applies to your property.
Yes. Every Wood Borer Treatment service is followed by a Service Report outlining our findings, the treatment carried out, and any recommendations.
