Tackle woodworm effectively
Not all woodworm is harmful, but if left untreated it can seriously weaken timber and damage the structural integrity of buildings. Woodworm can go unnoticed for long periods of time, causing serious problems without you being aware of it. Wood boring infestation is commonly known as woodworm which is a beetle that eats timbers that overtime may become structurally unsound. The treatment will often involve applying a chemical spray that over time kills off the offending beetle. In some cases a brush applied paste may be used.
The team at British Waterproofing can help you to address the issue of a woodworm problem and provide effective treatments.
We provide a survey of the suspected areas to identify any potential infestations and offer a recommended course of action.

Let us take care of your woodworm infestation
To treat woodboring infestations, we often apply a chemical spray that over time kills of the offending beetle. In some cases, a brush applied paste may be used.
After assessing your property, our technicians will apply a specially designed water-based insecticide that will kill the insects as they emerge from the timber. The insecticide may be applied as a spray, gel or paste. Timbers may need to be removed or replaced, depending on the severity of the infestation. Once applied, this treatment will deter woodworm for many years to come.
