What Are Wood Borers? Discover the Silent Threat to Your Wooden Furniture

Wood borers are a type of beetle known for damaging timber. These wood-eating insects can cause serious structural issues, especially to furniture and building elements made of wood. The severity of the damage depends on the type of wood and its moisture content. Homes or structures built primarily with timber are at the highest risk of infestation.

Behaviour of Wood Borers

• Adult wood borers lay their eggs in cracks and crevices on wooden surfaces. They are commonly found on timber panels, furniture, logs, and other wooden objects around your property.
• The larvae burrow deep into the wood as they feed, carving out intricate tunnel networks that may remain active for years.
• If left untreated, a wood borer infestation can lead to significant deterioration of wooden structures, potentially compromising their integrity.

Choosing a professional wood borer control service from an experienced company ensures accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment. At Rentokil, we use specialist insecticides tailored to each wood borer species and offer long-term prevention advice to help protect your timber assets well into the future.
