Wood Borer Control
What this treatment targets.
Step-by-step treatment methodology.
1. Pinhole & Frass Mapping
Locating active flight exit holes and tapping timber panels to assess subterranean structural hollows.
2. Precision Syringe Injection
Injecting petroleum-derived oil-based preservative formulation directly into individual exit boreholes with micro-syringes.
3. Surface Penetration Coating
Applying a protective chemical wash over unpolished underside and back timber surfaces to prevent cross-infestation.
4. Wax Sealing of Boreholes
Sealing treated boreholes with timber-compatible wax to trap vapors inside tunnels and monitor future activity.
Chemical Safety & Re-entry Protocols
Oil-based solvent carries mild odour during application. Ensure continuous room ventilation while formulations cure; avoid direct skin contact with wet treated timber until dry.
How our service pricing is determined.
Calculated based on furniture piece count or square footage of treated woodwork.
Common questions about wood borer control.
How can I tell if I have wood borers or termites?+
Wood borers leave distinct tiny circular pinholes (typically 1–2mm in diameter) with piles of fine talcum-like wood powder directly beneath. Termites create enclosed mud tubes and hollow out wood from within without fine loose powder.
Will the injection ruin the polish or paint on my furniture?+
Our technicians use micro-syringes to inject directly into the existing exit holes. Where surface spraying is needed, it is applied to raw, unpolished rear and bottom surfaces.
Can powder-post beetles spread to newly purchased wooden furniture?+
Yes, emerging adult beetles can fly and deposit eggs on exposed unfinished wooden joints of adjacent furniture. Treating affected items promptly prevents cross-infestation.
Is wood borer treatment a permanent solution?+
Deep syringe injection terminates active larvae within the timber channels. Sealing unpolished surfaces prevents re-infestation of treated timber.
