    WoodWorm Treatment

    The Woodworm

    Species

    As the growing trend of sustainability and eco-conscious living continues to spread across the UK, Dorset has become a hotspot for green home developments. One challenge that builders and homeowners in this region often encounter is woodworm infestations. Green Home Developments Dorset is leading the way in providing environmentally friendly woodworm treatments, offering innovative solutions to protect your home while preserving the natural beauty of Dorset.

    Woodworm are various different species of wood boring insects that lay their larvae in the wood. The larvae then feed on the wood, weakening its structure and leading to significant structural and cosmetic damage.

    Furniture

    Beetle

    The common woodworm is often found in homes and buildings across America, feeding on softwoods and hardwoods.

    Deathwatch

    Beetle

    The deathwatch beetle, a well-known species of woodworm, is called as such because it makes a ticking noise when mating. It has destroyed many structures over the decades and can be tricky to get rid of.

    Longhorn

    Beetle

    The longhorn beetle is more common in the south east of the UK, and it prefers soft woods. If left untreated, this beetle can cause damage to your roof timbers by chewing through them. The longhorn beetle also flies in warm weather, which means that an infestation can quickly spread to neighbouring properties.

    Powderpost

    Beetle

    If this species is left unchecked, it will destroy all hardwood timber. If you come across broken or crumbled wood, the powderpost beetle is likely to blame.

    About us

    Water-based

    Treatments

    At Green Home Developments, we only ever use the best water based insecticide treatments to kill woodworm and other insects damaging your home– never lower grade chemicals.

    A significant advantage to using water-based insecticide instead of other chemicals is that those who live in the property can return only a few hours after treatment.

    How Long Does

    Treatment Take?

    Woodworm treatment kills woodworms and eggs that are close to the surface of the treated wood. It only takes an hour for all of the spray to seep in. However, depending on how developed the woodworm’s life cycle is, it may take a while longer before they’re eradicated from your property.

    Once an infestation has occurred, there isn’t an effective do-it-yourself method of woodworm eradication.

    While there are store-bought products that can be effective in treating woodworm, it is always best to consult with a professional. A survey will likely need to be conducted to determine the severity of the problem.
