Wood Borer Control in Powai

Wood dust on your furniture? Check these signs

These are often called powderpost beetles. The adult lays eggs in cracks and holes in wood, and the larvae, known as woodworms, eat their way through it for a long time before coming out. By the time you see holes, the damage inside has usually been happening for a while.

• Small round holes in chairs, sofas, cupboards, frames or flooring.
• Little piles of fine powder under a piece of furniture, returning after you clean it.
• Wood that feels weak or crumbles at the edges.
• A faint ticking or tapping from wooden objects, usually in a quiet room.

• Furniture treatment

  For chairs, tables, cabinets and antique pieces. The product is injected into the holes and sprayed on the surface using a quick-drying formula that is safe for wood finishes.

• Structural treatment

  For beams, flooring, doors, windows and other fixed wood, using deep penetration treatment. This takes longer and may need furniture to be moved first.

• Can old furniture with wood borer be saved?

  Usually yes, as long as the wood is still sound. We treat old and new furniture, including antique pieces, by injection and surface spray. If a piece has become too weak to repair, the technician will tell you, because it could also keep spreading the problem to others.

• How do I tell wood borer from termites?

  Wood borers leave small round holes and fine powder, and they usually attack individual pieces of furniture. Termites leave mud tubes and hollow wood, and they usually come through walls or soil. The treatments differ, so show the technician both the holes and any dust you have collected.

• Will the treatment damage my furniture's polish?

  It should not. We use targeted application methods and a quick-drying formula that are designed not to damage wood finishes. If you have a valuable antique or a delicate polish, point it out during the inspection, so that the technician can test a small hidden spot before starting.

• Should I move an infested piece away from other furniture?

  Yes, if it can be moved safely, because borers can spread to nearby wood. Do not move it to a different flat or put it into storage, as that can take the problem with it. Vacuum the dust, leave the holes as they are, and book the inspection.

• My new modular kitchen has wood dust. Is that possible?

  Yes, although it is less common. Infested timber or plywood can be used by mistake, and borers can also spread from older furniture nearby. Keep a sample of the powder, photograph the holes and contact your carpenter too, because a manufacturing warranty may also apply to you.

• How do I get rid of wood borers in furniture?

  We inject the product into the holes and spray the surface, then add preventive protection for valuable pieces. Home remedies such as vinegar or baking soda are not treatments we use or can vouch for. Vacuum the dust first, because it shows you where fresh activity is continuing.

• Can wood borers spread to my other furniture?

  Yes, they can spread from an infested piece to other wooden items in the home, so early treatment prevents wider damage. Check pieces standing close to the affected one, as well as door frames and flooring nearby. The technician can look at all of them during the free inspection.

• How can I prevent wood borer from coming back?

  Keep humidity down, inspect wooden items regularly and use treated wood for new work. Periodic professional inspections help too, especially in humid months. Inside the warranty, you get 3 free follow-up visits a year, which are a good moment to have new dust or holes checked.

• Do you treat both old and new furniture?

  Yes. We treat old and new furniture, antique pieces, wooden flooring, beams and other wooden installations. Tell us which pieces are valuable or have a delicate finish. Targeted methods are used so that the finish is not damaged, and the technician will discuss any concerns before starting.
