The most famous woodborer insect is known as woodworm and is mentioned in surveying reports. These insects are restricted to forests, but others can live in wood that has got felled and integrated into homes. Four beetles of interest to property owners are on the list of "woodworm insects" most commonly found in residential and commercial buildings. Preliminary reports often call for woodworm testing and, if necessary, woodworm treatment.
If the infestation is low and the wood is free from severe structural damage, it is safe to proceed with the same treatment methods as when treating the Death Watch Beetle. The type of insect that attacks wood and whether or not it is active is a prerequisite for proper treatment. Permagard Woodworm Killer (ready to use) is one excellent treatment for woodworms caused by the common furniture beetle and other beetle species.
It contains permethrin, one of the most effective insecticides in the world for treating woodworm infestation.
This ready-to-use woodworm killer is specially developed to protect furniture, floors, timber and other woods. Woodworm beds can damage wood furniture and lumber, as well as other wood products such as wood chips.
The resulting damage can result in costly repairs and treatments. The property is a traditional construction method used in the construction industry, and the associated cost to timber and timber products can cause severe damage.
Treatment of woodworms can be painful depending on the nature and extent of the infestation. We will help you find out if you have woodworms in your house or not and show you the damage woodworms can do if left untreated. They will also help you understand the cost of woodworm treatment, and whether you can treat infestation with DIY methods.
The best way to get rid of woodworms is to have all your property treated with an insecticide, and this can get used as a high-pressure spray treatment.
As you can see above, some infestation levels are low and easy to resolve, but buying a property with potential structural problems may not be the best option for you. Talk to your surveyor about what they can identify as woodworms, and then talk to a specialist. Contact us to get clear and helpful answers to all your questions and make an appointment.

Please note that this particular beetle infestation is so low that no woodworm treatment is required and the woodworm infestation in your house is historical. We recommend appropriate woodworm treatment after one of our experienced technicians has carried out a thorough inspection is required to assess the extent of the problem and the type of woodworms and to determine whether the infestation is active or not.
Apex technicians will inspect your property in search of woodworm infestations, including the presence of woodworms in walls, floors, ceilings, windows and other areas of the house. Woodworm treatment is specifically designed to disrupt the growth of beetles and the spread of other pests in your home, as well as the development of new infestations.
For this reason, it is essential to carry out a professional examination as quickly as possible, so that the surveyor can identify a specific species of beetle and, in turn, to select the most suitable treatment method. After a thorough inspection of your property, the technician will recommend the best treatment solution for your unique situation. In the case of the common furniture beetle, the treatment of woodworms is relatively simple and contains a chemical spray that can get used in particularly challenging places.
It seeps into the soil to eradicate the adult beetles, interrupting the breeding cycle and protecting the area from further infestation.
Woodworm treatment gets completed after one hour, and the customer's re-entry is safe as long as it is ensured that the adult beetles get entirely eradicated from the affected area. This is because when they escape from an affected surface, they can move freely around the property without being detected.
