Is It Active Woodworm? Signs to Look For
Before any treatment can begin, it’s crucial to confirm you have an active woodworm infestation. The most obvious sign is the presence of small, round exit holes in your timber. These are where the adult beetles have emerged. You might also spot fine, powdery dust, known as 'frass,' around these holes or underneath infested timber – this is essentially woodworm droppings. If you're hearing faint scratching noises within your wooden structures, or if the timber itself appears weakened or crumbly, it’s time to call in the professionals. Our initial survey will help confirm whether you have an active issue and what type of woodworm might be at play.

Who We Are
Our Professional Woodworm Treatment Process
Once we've identified an active woodworm infestation, our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians will devise a bespoke treatment plan. We don't just spray and leave; our approach involves a thorough site survey to assess the extent of the damage and identify all affected areas, including those hard-to-reach spots in basements or lofts. We use professional-grade timber treatment insecticides, carefully applied to penetrate the wood and eradicate the woodworm larvae (which cause the most damage) as well as the adult beetles. This effective remedial treatment is designed to halt the lifecycle and prevent future outbreaks, providing a lasting solution for your property.

While DIY solutions might seem tempting, woodworm infestations often run deeper than surface-level damage. Over-the-counter products simply can’t match the strength or penetration of the professional-grade treatments our team uses. Plus, correctly identifying the species of woodworm and understanding the underlying causes, such as damp or condensation, requires specialist knowledge. Our 20 years of experience mean we have the skills to tackle even the most challenging infestations, offering a guaranteed solution and peace of mind that your timber is properly protected. Don't risk further damage or wasted effort with ineffective methods.

01822 668338Addressing Underlying Issues: Damp, Wet Rot & Dry Rot
Often, woodworm thrives in damp conditions. While our primary focus is the direct eradication of woodworm, we also look for underlying issues like damp, wet rot, or dry rot. Ignoring these can create perfect conditions for future infestations or more significant structural problems. Our comprehensive survey goes beyond just the woodworm; we'll provide advice on how to improve ventilation and reduce moisture in affected areas, like basements or poorly ventilated spaces, ensuring the long-term health of your timber and property.
