Wood Borer Control
Wood borers, also known as Powder Post Beetles, are small insects whose larvae feed deep inside wooden surfaces, silently weakening them from within. As these larvae mature and emerge, they create tiny, pin-sized exit holes in wooden furniture or structures. The presence of fine yellowish dust (frass) near these holes is a common sign of an active wood borer infestation.
These pests primarily feed on the cell contents of sapwood, tunneling through the wood as they grow and eventually pupate inside. Powder Post Beetles typically attack semi-seasoned or dry wood, especially those with 10–15% moisture content. Depending on the wood type and its moisture level, both structural wood and furniture become vulnerable to infestation.
Homes and commercial properties with natural wooden elements are always at risk of damage from wood borers. If left untreated, they can cause significant deterioration over time.
At Pest India Solution, we provide expert inspection and treatment for wood borer problems in residential and commercial properties. Our targeted approach helps eliminate existing infestations and prevent further damage, ensuring your wooden assets remain safe and long-lasting.
Treatment for Wood Borer Problem
At Pest India Solution, we begin by carefully identifying and locating wood borer infestations, typically recognized by the appearance of fine yellow powder, which is frass—the residue from tunnels created by larvae inside the wood.
To treat the infestation, we inject specially formulated wood preservative chemicals mixed with oil directly into the tiny exit holes using a syringe. This method is effective in targeting the larvae, which are solely responsible for causing the internal damage.
Unfinished or raw wood can be treated immediately, while painted or sealed surfaces require the finish to be removed for the treatment to work effectively. Our advanced chemical treatment not only eliminates current infestations but also offers long-term protection against future attacks.
Pest India Solution offers reliable wood borer control for both homes and commercial properties—ensuring your wooden structures and furniture stay strong, safe, and pest-free.
