Protect the structural timber in your home from borers. Treatment can include a full timber inspection, chemical treatment of affected areas and preventative measures to stop further damage.
Borer larvae can remain active inside timber for several years before adult beetles emerge, which is why early detection and treatment are important.
A standard borer treatment can provide protection for several years, depending on the product used and the extent of the infestation.
The chemicals used are not harmful to you or your pets when applied correctly, though care is taken around fish tanks and ponds as fish are particularly sensitive to these products.
