Woodworm Treatment
Woodworm is caused by four beetles resident in the UK, which are able to begin and maintain infestations in timbers within buildings. Woodworm control provides treatment against:
- Death Watch Beetle
- Furniture Beetle (Woodworm)
- House Longhorn
- Woodboring Weevil
Wise Property Care are at the leading edge of timber and woodworm preservation and are experts at identifying these wood boring insects which invariably lead to wood rot and the need for remedial timber treatment.
Beetle Infestation and the control of woodworm
The Wise Property Care woodworm treatment and timber preservation techniques are clean and simple but first we need to look for common clues that a woodboring insect infestation is or has occurred (such as small holes or tracts in timber). Each type of wood boring insect has its own particular behaviours and recognisable features which can be used for identification and this is important given that different insects require different treatments. In some extreme cases woodworm infestation can also occur in furniture if woodworm in building timbers is not identified and controlled.
Timber preservation and the control of woodworm has become a crucial consideration in the overall maintenance equation especially as beetle infestation increases in tandem with climate change.
