What happens if we find Wood Borer in your home or furniture?
Finding Wood Borer in your suspended wooden floors, ceiling or antique furniture is never a good thing. The good news is you have a bit of time until things get too bad. Lucky enough most Wood Destroying Organisms have quite a long shelf life.
- Keep the infested item in question in quarantine: Lock the item up in a store room or container and keep it away from your other wooden furniture. This way you can tell if the activity is evident of old and has gone unnoticed. Frass / saw dust poring from the holes means its active.
- Inspect other wooden items for similar problems: There is some light at the end of the tunnel. Not all Wood Boring Beetles eat all types of wood. Consequently if you have a Teak wardrobe and Pine floors, the infestation may not spread depending on the species of beetle. Firewood is often attached by Wood Beetle that wont touch your hardwood floors.
- Call your local professional Beetle Certificate and Compliance Clermont Inspector: Make sure its a reputable company with registered inspectors. There are many “companies” that will take your money but not your bugs. Ask for their inspectors certificate or inspectors number. You can cross check their number here. Here in Clermont there are however few instanced where Pest Control Companies treat timber without being Certified. This is alright, just make sure they are under supervision or shadowing a registered inspector.
How can i treat a Wood Borer Infestation here in Clermont?
Currently there is no effective amateur use product that can successfully treat Wood Borer Infestations in Clermont. All Wood Borer Fumigation’s as well as Compliance Certificates need to be carried out or at least signed off by a certified individual. Here are a few things you can look out for when a fumigation takes place.
- A house fumigation will rarely take less than 3 days to complete: This is as a result of more or less 1 day for prep. A full 24 hours exposure to the gas and a further 24 Hours for airing. During this time, the Fumigator needs full and restricted access to your home. That’s right, he needs all your keys as well as the spares.
- In rare and isolated cases a simple drill and inject treatment can be carried out: Although not ideal Drill and inject Fumigation’s are used where an infestation is isolated in only a couple pieces of timber. This treatment is quick but leaves a terrible solvent smell for a couple days following the treatment.
- A simple topical timber treatment isn’t ideal but can also suffice: This is where a wood preservative is applied to raw untreated timber. This is only effective for untreated as well as sanded down timber. A simple topical timber treatment will also leave a terrible solvent smell behind. Depending on the type and age of wood, slight staining may also occur.
