Anti Wood Borer Control Services

The amount of damage that wood – boring beetles cause depends on many factors. For active wood – boring beetle infestation we offer Effective treatment using chemicals for spraying and brushing treatment. Also, we inject chemicals into these tiny short holes with the help of needles to kill larvae in the woods, which may destroy the wood in the future. All wooden furniture and fixtures including those attached to the wall are treated with care. Wood borers (Powder Post Beetles) are tiny beetles whose larvae feed extensively on the wood. The wood worms while emerging make tiny pin size holes on the surface of wooden furniture or fixture. Those tiny holes which you see on wood surface are actually the exit -holes where the adult wood borer has left.

Anti Wood Borer Control Services Measures:

The life cycle of the beetled begin when the eggs are laid into the pores and cracks on wood and wooden articles. They hatch out, releasing tiny larve that bore into the wood through the bottom of the egg. The larvae live there for years feeding on the wood creating a network of intricate internal tunnel throughout the timber. Unlike termites who attack timber for cellulose, powder post beetle attack timber for high content of starch in it. The powder of frass found in the tunnels is nothing but excreta of these beetles and undigested cellulose of the wood. The adults emerge out by making tiny pin-head sized holes, commonly known as shot holes or flight holes. The adults live for about 8-10 weeks.

Control Method:

The infested wood structure will be emptied out & the tiny holes created by wood borer will be injected with oil based chemical & thereafter all wooden structure will be sprayed thoroughly with oil based chemical Treated area should not be used before 4-5 hours. It should be kept closed. Our Technicians have instructions not to handle owner’s property. Hence shifting or emptying of the furniture should be handled by your representative.

Treatment

For the control of wood borers we provide effective treatment using chemiclas for spraying and brushing tretment. The chemical will be applied using syringe into the holes. The aim is to get the maximum amount of liquid into the wood.

Mode Of Treatment

• At REX we generally recommend that all timbers in a home to be treated before assembly.
• >It is much cheaper to treat preventively and of course it is also much less labor intensive.
• For Active Wood Borer infestation we go for Spraying and Brushing treatment by using most effective and eco- friendly chemicals.
• At times we have to inject chemical into the tiny short holes with the help of syringe to kill larvae in the woods, which keep on destroying the wooden furnishings and furniture.
