Understanding the threat of wood borers
Wood borers, those tiny yet destructive pests, have more power than you might think. Left untreated, they can cause significant damage to woodwork, leading to safety concerns and costly repairs. Whilst we often use the common term 'woodworm', there are several species of infestations that we can help with, including the UK's common Death Watch beetle. With over three decades of experience, Cotswold Treatments provides tailored solutions to identify, treat, and prevent infestations, utilising traditional spraying treatments as well as deep penetrating and effective emulsions and gels to address the root of the problem.
How can you tell you have an issue?
The major signs to look out for include:
-
Holes within woodwork
-
Frass, a fine powdery material left behind as insects tunnel through the wood
-
Deterioration of timber surfaces
​
We are specialists in the field of remedial and preservative treatment of structural timbers when tackling wood boring insects. All of our timber treatment chemicals are low odour, water-based and biodegradable in line with EU Regulations.
Treatments that last!
Prevention is just as important as treatment when it comes to wood borers. At Cotswold Treatments, we don't just eliminate the current infestation; we also implement measures to prevent future occurrences. This includes advising on proper wood maintenance, addressing moisture issues, and applying protective treatments to vulnerable areas. Our team is always on hand to provide guidance and support, ensuring that your property remains safeguarded against wood borers. With our comprehensive approach, you can have peace of mind knowing that your investment is well-protected for the long term.
