Woodworm Treatment
Wood-boring beetles can quietly destroy structural timber over a life cycle of up to five years. One exit hole on the surface can hide extensive damage inside. Correct identification of the beetle is essential to choosing the effective treatment.
Real Trident jobWoodworm is caused by wood-boring beetles with a life cycle of up to five years. The adult lives only a few weeks and cuts the hole you see in the wood to find a mate. New eggs are laid on the surface or back into the hole, and the cycle starts again.
The larvae use the timber as a food source and can cause immense damage while going completely unnoticed: sometimes there is a single entry hole and near-complete destruction of the timber inside. Correct identification of the beetle species is essential to using the most effective treatment.
We treat infestations with professional wood-preservation systems: surface-applied, sprayed, paste or injected treatments, selected for the species, the timbers involved, and how accessible they are. Structural timbers that are difficult to reach get deep-penetrating paste or gel treatments rather than a quick spray-and-hope.
Common questions
Worth reading before you book.
No mystery, no sales pitch. Here is exactly what a Trident survey involves, who turns up, and what the written specification you receive covers.
One stays local to a leak; the other travels through brick and mortar and can quietly take a building apart. Early detection is everything.
