Is Woodworm Damaging Your Truro Home? Get Expert Help
Finding signs of woodworm in your Truro property can be a worrying discovery. These tiny pests, which are actually the larvae of various wood-boring beetles, can quietly cause significant damage to wooden structures, furniture, and flooring if left untreated. From historic properties in the city centre to modern homes across Cornwall, timber is vulnerable to these silent destroyers. At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand the unique challenges of local properties. With 20 years of hands-on industry experience across Devon and Cornwall, we offer professional, effective, and guaranteed woodworm treatment to protect your valuable assets. We’re your local, independent experts, ready to help.
Why Choose Us?
Recognising the Signs of Woodworm Infestation
Knowing what to look for is the first step in tackling a woodworm problem. Common signs include small, round 'flight holes' appearing in wooden surfaces – these are where the adult beetles have emerged. You might also notice fine, powdery dust, known as 'frass,' around these holes or underneath infested timber. This frass is essentially the woodworm's droppings, and its presence indicates active feeding. Weakened or crumbling timber, particularly in lofts, floorboards, or basement areas, can also be a tell-tale sign. If you suspect woodworm in your property in Truro, St Austell, or anywhere across the region, it’s crucial to act quickly before the damage becomes extensive.

Who We Are
Our Proven Woodworm Treatment Process
At Moorlander Pest Control, our approach to woodworm treatment is thorough and effective. It all starts with a comprehensive survey of your property. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians will meticulously inspect all timber, including roof timbers, joists, floorboards, and furniture, to accurately identify the type of woodworm and the extent of the infestation. Based on this detailed assessment, we'll design a targeted treatment plan. We use professional-grade insecticides, applied directly to the affected timber, to eradicate the woodworm larvae and prevent future infestations. This isn't a one-size-fits-all solution; we tailor our methods to your specific needs, whether it's treating damp-related issues that attract woodworm or addressing historic dry timber damage.
