Discovering woodworm can be a real worry for any homeowner in Chagford.

With 20 years of dedicated experience across Devon and Cornwall, we offer expert, effective woodworm treatments to protect your home. We're your local specialists, ready to restore your peace of mind.
Why Choose Us?
Recognising the Signs of a Woodworm Infestation
Knowing what to look for is the first step in tackling a woodworm problem. Keep an eye out for small, round exit holes, typically 1-2mm in diameter, on wooden surfaces like floorboards, joists, furniture, or roof timbers. Another tell-tale sign is fine, powdery dust, known as 'frass', often found around these holes – this is actually the droppings of the woodworm beetles as they tunnel through the timber. You might also spot adult beetles emerging from the timber, usually between May and October. Sometimes, the sounds of munching or scratching in quiet areas of your property, particularly in older timber, can indicate an active infestation. If you notice any of these signs, don't delay – call us for a professional assessment.

Who We Are
Why Professional Woodworm Treatment is Essential for Your Home
While DIY solutions might seem tempting, woodworm infestations require a precise, professional approach to guarantee complete eradication. Over-the-counter products often only treat the surface, leaving larvae deep within the timber to continue their destructive work. Many different species of woodworm exist, from the common furniture beetle to the more damaging death watch beetle, and each requires specific knowledge and treatment. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians are trained to accurately identify the species involved, assess the extent of the damage, and apply targeted, professional-grade treatments that penetrate deep into the wood. This thoroughness is something you simply can't achieve with retail products, which often means the problem will just return.

01822 668338Our Expert Woodworm Treatment Process in Devon
At Moorlander Pest Control, our woodworm treatment begins with a comprehensive, on-site survey of your property. Our experienced team, with two decades in the field, will meticulously inspect all accessible timber, including basements, lofts, and hidden areas, to identify the species of woodworm, assess the severity of the infestation, and pinpoint any underlying issues like damp or condensation that might contribute to woodworm activity. Based on this thorough assessment, we'll design a tailored treatment plan. This typically involves applying a professional-grade insecticide directly to the affected timber. For more severe cases, or where the infestation is deep-seated, we employ specialist techniques to ensure full penetration and eradication. We always focus on providing effective, long-lasting remedial work that safeguards your property.
