Professional Woodworm Treatment In Newton-Le-Willows

Symptoms of Woodworm

Newton-Le-Willows woodworm treatment is based around prevention wherever possible, but if you have an infestation, the symptoms will soon present themselves. They include:

• Frass (this substance looks like sawdust and is generally by the exit holes that the woodworm have made)
• Weakened and split wood
• Dead beetles/woodworm around furniture and the house

What Can Be Done

If you keep furniture in the house after the infestation has become apparent, steps still need to be taken to establish what has happened and how much damage the woodworm has caused. Young’s Pest Control has many years of experience in pest control, including Newton-Le-Willows woodworm treatment. Our friendly, trained staff will assess the woodworm species, whether the infestation is still active, and the best course of therapy to deal with the infestation. Many DIY home methods will involve spraying the affected furniture; this is, more often than not, a waste of time, as the infestation may have long moved on, or the treatment is ineffective for that specific breed of pest. This is why it is essential to call an expert company that can also provide preventative advice on the infestation and advice on what appears to have been damaged.

Dangers of Not Doing Anything

Apart from the inconvenience of having live woodworm in your home or office, structural damage is a genuine and frightening possibility, especially in older homes with a ‘wood heavy’ structure. Ineffective treatment may kill woodworm, but the larvae may well still hatch. At Young’s, we’ll ensure an all-encompassing treatment that’ll remove the woodworm and their larvae, meaning that all past, present and future pests are gone.
