Borer Beetle Solutions

Wood-boring beetles, including Furniture Beetles and Powderpost Beetles, pose a significant threat to wooden structures and furniture in South Africa. The larvae, commonly known as woodworm, can spend years tunneling inside timber, compromising its structural integrity before any external signs are visible. Verminator offers a comprehensive suite of solutions to eradicate these destructive pests and protect your valuable assets.

Our Borer Beetle Control Methods:

Because every infestation is unique, we offer several advanced treatment options:

• Wood Borer Injection Treatment: Ideal for structural timbers like roof trusses, floorboards, and joists. We inject a specialized glycol-borate solution directly into the wood. This method provides deep penetration, killing larvae on contact and leaving a long-lasting residual treatment to prevent re-infestation. We back this service with a 2-Year Guarantee.
• Thermokil™ Heat Treatment: A 100% chemical-free solution perfect for moveable items like furniture, antiques, and artwork. Our specialized mobile heat chamber raises the core temperature of the item to a level lethal to all life stages of the beetle—from egg to adult. Learn more about Heat Treatment.
• Surface Treatments & Fumigation: For widespread infestations or specific scenarios, we may recommend surface spray treatments or whole-structure fumigation to ensure complete eradication. Compare Borate vs. ProFume Fumigation.
