Case Study - Wood Worm, Antrim Town.
Following on from a survey of a property in Antrim Town, woodworm was seen to be active and affecting timbers. Due to numerous types of wood boring beetles with each preferring different types of timber, it is important to recognise the particular type of woodworm present to allow the identification of an attack and how it is subsequently dealt with.
Treatment for this property involved the cleaning down of affected timbers and the dual application of our specialist treatment fluids. This was applied as low odour, water-based solution sprayed at low pressure onto and around the surfaces of the structural timbers. In cases where dense wood is present it may be treated with a deep penetrating diffusion gel which allows superior eradication of the infestation. Heavily affected timbers will need to be replaced.
In this particular property, as the woodworm was identified before structural weakening took place, in cases like this, most treatments can be successfully completed in-situ to avoid the expense and disruption of the removal of joists and other supporting timbers.
