Borer
Borer infestations are a common problem in many New Zealand homes, posing a significant threat to the structural integrity of wooden structures. These wood-boring insects, such as the house borer, can silently and swiftly compromise the strength and stability of timber frames, floors, and furniture. Homeowners must remain vigilant, regularly inspecting for signs of infestation and taking prompt action to address any issues. Professional pest control services can provide effective treatment options, from targeted chemical applications and wood preservatives for long lasting protection and help to eradicate these pests, prevent re-infestation and prevent further damage. By addressing borer infestations proactively, homeowners can safeguard their properties and ensure the long-term preservation of their homes.
Can I control the problem myself?
Tackling borer infestations yourself can be effective with the right approach. Start by identifying the borer, then use targeted treatments like insecticides or physical barriers. Regularly inspect for signs of activity and act quickly to contain the problem. With diligence and the proper techniques, you can successfully manage borers and protect your home or property.
How we can help
We can utilize a variety of methods to combat borers and protect structures from infestations. One of the initial steps is identifying the extent of the borer present and the damage they have done, allowing for targeted treatment options. These treatments may include the use of insecticides, timber preservatives, or recommendation of the removal of affected wood. Additionally, a key component of pest control for borers involves identifying and eliminating the conditions that attract them, such as moisture and decay. By implementing a combined strategy of targeted treatments and preventative measures, we can effectively eliminate current borers and prevent future infestations.
