Wood Borer Control service by All Out Pest Control

Wood Borer Control

Wood borer treatment for furniture, frames, plywood and decorative wood, focused on active holes, powder fall and timber protection.

Wood borers damage timber from inside, often leaving only tiny round holes and fine powder on the outside. The right response depends on whether the activity is active, how deep the infestation has gone and whether the wood is structural or decorative. Our service treats active galleries and helps decide when repair or replacement is more sensible.

Best for

Homes, offices and commercial spaces

Each visit is planned around the level of activity, the layout of the premises and the places where wood borer pressure is actually coming from.

Method

Inspection-led treatment

We avoid generic application and focus on harbourage points, movement routes, entry gaps and conditions that can cause the issue to return.

Signs of active wood borer

  • Fine powder falling below furniture, frames or wall panelling.
  • Fresh round exit holes on wood surfaces.
  • Weak, brittle or hollow sections in old furniture.
  • Recurring powder after cleaning the same spot.

Our treatment approach

  1. 01

    Identify active holes, timber type and extent of damage.

  2. 02

    Inject suitable treatment into borer holes and galleries.

  3. 03

    Brush or apply protective treatment on accessible unfinished wood.

  4. 04

    Advise polishing, sealing or replacement where damage is advanced.

Before our team arrives

  • Clear the affected furniture and remove stored items.
  • Move small items to an accessible work area.
  • Keep polished surfaces visible for inspection.
  • Share whether the furniture is antique, veneer, plywood or solid wood.

After service care

  • Allow treated holes to dry before sealing or polishing.
  • Watch for fresh powder over the next few weeks.
  • Keep timber dry and ventilated.
  • Avoid bringing untreated old wood into the premises.
Why it works

Real control comes from treating the source, not just the visible pest.

Our technician explains what was found, what was treated and what the customer should change after service. That keeps the page promise honest and gives visitors the useful detail they need before booking.

Can all furniture be saved?

Not always. Treatment can stop active infestation, but severely weakened timber may still need repair.

Will holes disappear?

Treatment controls activity; carpentry or polishing is needed to cosmetically close old holes.

Is powder always active borer?

Fresh repeated powder suggests activity. Old holes without new powder may be historic damage.
