Woodworm Control
Woodworms are insects that attack wood and cause significant damage to furniture, doors, and even wooden structures in homes. Their danger lies in the fact that they silently burrow into the wood, making them difficult to detect until it's too late.
What are woodworms?
They are small beetle larvae that live inside and feed on wood, leaving behind tiny holes and wood shavings. Over time, these tunnels weaken the wood's structure and cause damage.
How do you detect an infestation?
Small holes appear in the wood.
Fine shavings are present under the wood pieces.
Wood appears hollow when tapped.
Sometimes, the color or smell of the wood changes.
What's the solution?
To control woodworms, it's recommended to follow simple but effective steps:
Regularly inspect furniture, especially in damp or enclosed areas.
Isolate infested pieces to prevent the insect from spreading to other furniture.
Use an effective pesticide such as Acticle 500 EC, a concentrated pesticide that can be mixed with water and sprayed or injected into holes. It is powerful in eliminating the insect from within.
Ventilate the area well after treatment and allow the pieces to dry completely.
Prevention is always better.
Keep the area dry and well-ventilated.
Avoid storing wood in damp areas.
Use insect-resistant paints or treatments when purchasing or maintaining furniture.
