If you're a homeowner in Sherford, Plymouth, or anywhere across Devon and Cornwall, discovering signs of woodworm can be a real worry.

At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand the distress and potential costs involved. With 20 years of hands-on experience in effective pest management, we offer professional, targeted woodworm treatments designed to eradicate these pests and protect your valuable property for the long term.
Why Choose Us?
Spotting the Hidden Signs of a Woodworm Infestation
Often, by the time you notice an active woodworm problem, the larvae have already been burrowing away unseen within your timber for years. Keeping an eye out for tell-tale signs is crucial. Look for small, round or oval 'flight holes' on wooden surfaces – these are where the adult beetles have emerged. You might also see fine, powdery dust, known as 'frass', which is effectively the woodworm's waste material, collecting beneath the holes or on surfaces. Weakened or crumbling timber, especially around floorboards, skirting boards, or loft joists, can also indicate a serious issue. If you spot any of these, it's time to call in the local experts.

01822 668338Our Comprehensive Woodworm Eradication Process
Our approach to woodworm control begins with a thorough, detailed site survey. We carefully inspect all accessible timber within your property, identifying the specific type of wood-boring beetle present, assessing the extent of the damage, and crucially, looking for any underlying issues like damp or condensation that might be contributing to the infestation. Once we have a clear picture, we implement a targeted treatment plan using professional-grade insecticides. These are applied directly to the affected timber, penetrating deep to eradicate the larvae and prevent future infestations. We treat all necessary areas, whether it's the joists in your basement, the rafters in your loft, or your antique furniture.

01822 668338Understanding Different Wood-Boring Beetles
Not all woodworm are the same, and identifying the species is key to effective treatment. While the Common Furniture Beetle is the most prevalent, you might also encounter the Death Watch Beetle, often found in older, damp hardwood timbers like those in historic buildings, or the House Longhorn Beetle, which can cause extensive structural damage. There's also the Powder Post Beetle, which prefers the sapwood of certain hardwoods. Our RSPH-qualified team possesses the skills and knowledge to accurately identify the specific species impacting your property, ensuring we apply the correct and most effective remedial treatment plan.
