Defend Against Wood Borer Infestation
Wood borers (often called woodworms) are the larvae of several beetle species that live and feed inside timber. They create fine powdery dust and small round holes as they exit the wood, often after months—or even years—of internal feeding.
Left untreated, wood borers can weaken the structural integrity of timber flooring, support beams, and furniture, especially in damp or poorly ventilated environments. At Rozken, our wood borer control process begins with a comprehensive inspection.
We look for active signs such as fresh frass (wood dust), exit holes, and soft or hollow-sounding timber. Once identified, we apply targeted treatments such as timber surface sprays or injected solutions that kill larvae deep inside the wood. For properties at risk, we also provide advice on improving ventilation, reducing moisture, and selecting treated timber for future renovations.
- Targets active wood borer larvae & prevents reinfestation
- Safe for homes, heritage buildings, & commercial properties
- Solutions that preserve & protect timber for the long haul
Don’t ignore the warning signs—those tiny holes could point to big problems beneath the surface. Book your wood borer treatment today and keep your timber safe and sound.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a wood borer infestation?
Common signs of wood borer activity include small, round exit holes in timber surfaces, fine powdery dust (known as frass) near the holes, and weakened or crumbly wood. You may also hear quiet tapping or rustling sounds from within timber, especially at night. In severe cases, structural timber may become soft, warped, or visibly damaged. A professional inspection is often needed to confirm the extent of the infestation.
What causes wood borers to infest a home?
Wood borers are attracted to damp or untreated timber. Moisture in flooring, beams, or furniture can soften wood, making it more inviting for beetles to lay eggs. Once the larvae hatch, they burrow into the wood and feed for months or years before emerging. Poor ventilation, roof leaks, or humidity issues can increase the risk of infestation.
Are wood borers the same as termites?
No—wood borers and termites are different pests. Wood borers are the larvae of beetles, while termites are social insects that live in colonies and feed on cellulose in wood. Both can damage timber, but they require different treatment methods. Termite damage tends to be more extensive and often includes mud tunnels, while wood borers leave exit holes and frass but no mud.
