Safeguarding Your Wood Structures with Expert Borer Control Solutions

Wood destroying pests, the borers may cause structural damage that results from the invasion of wooden buildings and houses. As such, they burrow through timber by feeding and, in turn, make its integrity weak. Borers can be very damaging; if not treated they end up being costly with time and creating hazards such as falling roofs. Eliminating borers requires skills so that complete destruction takes place.

Health and Economic Risks of Borer Infestations

• Structural Weakening: The borers devour all wooden beams and floors hence, creating structural instability.
• Costly Repairs: Damages from borers prove costly as the wood formations may need to be reassembled or replaced.
• Diminishing Property Value: Infested homes tend to reduce in market value due to previous borer infestations.
• Fire Hazards: Weak wooden structures become flammable because of the deformed beams.
• Allergic Reactions: The dust and debris produced from the borer’s action can cause allergic reactions or breathing problems.
• Damage to Furniture: Borers can ruin wooden furniture, and getting it back in shape might be expensive or impossible.
• Noise Pollution: The persistent noise that the borers produce while burrowing can create a disturbance in your peace.
• Acceleration of Wood Rotting: The presence of borers accelerates the decay of untreated or moist wood.
• Increased Pest Attraction: Damaged wood can attract other pests and worsen the infestation problem.

Spot and Address Borer Infestations Early 

• Exit Holes: Small round or oval holes in timber surfaces where adult borers emerge.
• Sawdust (Frass): Fine, powdery sawdust accumulating beneath wooden structures or furniture.
• Creaking or Hollow Sounds: Tap wood structures to listen for hollow sounds indicating internal damage.
• Discoloration: Darkening or yellowing of wood can signal the presence of borers.
• Surface Tunnels: Visible tunnels or grooves along the surface of wood indicate active infestation.
• Droppings: Small piles of droppings near wood surfaces may suggest borer activity.
• Cracked Wood: Unexplained cracks or splits in wooden furniture or structures.
• Presence of Larvae: Finding small larvae within wood crevices, as borers primarily exist in the larval stage.
• Weakening Joints: Furniture or wooden structures becoming loose or unstable due to borer damage.
• Visible Borers: Spotting live adult borers around the property is a clear sign of infestation.
