Wood Borer Pest Control Services

What Are the Signs You Need Wood Borer Pest Control?

Wood boring beetles are small and mostly active inside the timber itself, so the damage is usually easier to spot than the insect. Here’s what to look out for:

• Small, round “shot holes” (roughly 1 to 2 mm) scattered across wooden furniture, flooring, or beams
• Fine, powdery dust (frass) collecting beneath or around these holes, especially after vibration or movement
• A dull, hollow sound when tapping on furniture or wooden fittings that should sound solid
• Weakened, crumbling, or blistered wood surfaces, particularly on the underside of furniture
• Live beetles emerging from timber during their seasonal flight period, usually in warmer months

How Does Our Wood Boring Beetles Treatment Work?

Every visit under our wood borer control services begins with a careful inspection to map out which items or areas are affected and how active the infestation is. From there, our wood boring beetles treatment combines two complementary methods:

• Injection treatment: Termiticide/insecticide is injected directly into existing exit holes and drilled points along affected timber, reaching larvae feeding inside the wood.
• Surface spray treatment: A protective insecticide coating is applied across furniture surfaces, joints, and untreated timber to prevent new beetles from laying eggs.
• Follow-up inspection: We confirm the treatment has taken hold and no fresh activity remains.

When Do You Need Wood Borer Fumigation for Severe or Widespread Infestations?

For antique furniture, valuable timber fittings, or properties with infestation spread across multiple rooms, spot treatment alone may not be enough. In these cases, PCMW offers wood borer fumigation – a more thorough, enclosed treatment that penetrates deep into dense or layered timber to eliminate larvae that injection and surface spray can’t always reach.

Fumigation is typically recommended for heritage furniture, large timber structures, or commercial properties with valuable wooden stock, and is scheduled with minimal disruption to your routine.

Can Wood Borers, Termites, and Rodents Damage the Same Property?

Wood damage isn’t always caused by a single pest. If you’re also seeing mud tubes, hollow-sounding walls, or damage near ground level, it’s worth having our termite pest control team assess the property alongside wood borer treatment, since termites and wood boring beetles sometimes affect the same structure. Properties with older timber, stored furniture, or warehousing also tend to see gnaw damage from rats, so our rodent control services are worth checking too. For heritage properties or large commercial premises needing whole-building coverage, our fumigation services provide a more comprehensive solution.

We provide wood borer pest control for homes, furniture workshops, and commercial properties across Gurgaon and Ludhiana, where wooden furniture manufacturing and older timber-framed buildings make wood borer infestations especially common.
