Do you need control of woodworm or wood-boring beetles?
Wood-infesting insects are a significant issue in homes where they establish themselves. The bugs gnaw around in the wood. This causes the wood to hollow out, making it no longer stable. Do you want to know more about wood-infesting insects such as woodworm and wood-boring beetles? On this page, you will find all the information about the various types of wood-infesting insects (woodworm & wood-boring beetles), the costs of detection and treatment, how to detect wood-infesting insects, and the methods for controlling them. You’re in the right place with Eversor for expert advice and professional treatments.
How do I recognize wood-infesting insects?
Wood-infesting insects can cause a lot of damage and nuisance. It can even be the case that woodworm or wood-boring beetles jeopardize the stability of your home, shed, office, or property. So, have wood-infesting insects treated as soon as possible and always leave the control to a professional.
So, how do you recognize the presence of wood-infesting insects?
Carefully inspect all wooden areas. Look for holes. Round holes indicate the presence of woodworm beetle larvae, while oval holes Sometimes, you may also find adult beetles in the house. Woodworm beetles are typically between 2 and 5 millimeters long, have a dark brown, elongated body, and are capable of flying. Not entirely sure which creature it is? You can always email us a photo. Go to our contact page for our email address. We can definitively determine whether it is a wood-infesting insect.
It’s important to proceed with professional extermination as soon as possible. An infestation can quickly grow and thus pose a greater danger.
What about do-it-yourself remedies from the internet or the store?
We always strongly discourage doing it yourself. DIY remedies often don’t work well, which can allow the problem to further spread and cause more and more damage. Proper pest control tools are accessible only to professionals. That’s because the biocides used are often highly toxic. A professional knows how to handle this, understands the risks of usage, and knows how to protect themselves, you, and your environment from the dangers of the poison. Other control methods such as heat treatments or oxygen treatments also require specialized knowledge and training.
Do you recognize one or more characteristics? Don’t hesitate, prevent further damage, and contact a professional exterminator immediately.
How does a treatment against woodworm and wood-boring beetles work?
Wood-infesting insects are often difficult to control; it requires special techniques and strong biocides to carry out effective control. Fortunately, Eversor has the most innovative and advanced techniques on the market to eliminate wood-infesting insects. Often, this can even be done without the use of biocides.
Chemical method
The simplest control method for woodworm and wood-boring beetles is the chemical treatment. This involves the use of biocides. These must be applied to the places where the bed bugs hide. Due to increasingly stringent regulations, it is becoming more difficult to carry out a chemical treatment. Only professional exterminators are allowed to carry out such treatment. Also, often the wood is too thick or there are other obstacles to using this method.
Physical Methods
Another technique to control woodworm and wood-boring beetles is through physical solutions.
Heat Treatment
There are different methods for heat treatments. There are microwave machines that heat the wood. There are also infrared panels, which are very useful for, for example, wooden floors. The principle is the same for all these methods. The wood is heated to a level where the woodworm or wood-boring beetle cannot survive. At the same time, consideration must be given to any varnish or paint layers. Eversor carries out these heat treatments under the EverSmart® program. The temperatures are monitored remotely via sensors. This ensures an effective and safe treatment.
Anoxia Treatment
A highly innovative solution that is very suitable for treating smaller and very sensitive or fragile objects (such as museum pieces) is the use of anoxia. Anoxia is an extreme form of hypoxia, or oxygen deficiency. The oxygen in a certain area is completely removed, causing no insects to survive. This is suitable for any type of material and specifically developed for, for example, museums.
When is the nuisance over?
Depending on the type of treatment performed, it may take some time before the cockroaches are completely eradicated. Also, the spaces may be temporarily inaccessible due to biocides.
