We are engaged in rendering superior Wood Borers Treatment. Our service includes treatment of wood before bores are formed on furniture. For finished furniture products, bore holes are injected with chemical, which prevents further damage.
Wood borers(Powder Post Beetles) are tiny beetles whose larva feed extensively on the wood. The adults while emerging make tiny pin size holes on the surface of wooden furniture or fixture. The fine yellowish coloured powder starts appearing from these tiny holes. This indicates the destructive activity of borers deep inside the core of the wood as these are internal feeders. They feed on the cell contents of the sapwood. While feeding they make tunnels and pupate within the wood. Borers or Powder Post Beetles attack partially or fully seasoned wood with 10-15% moisture. (i.e almost dry condition).
The beetles are more active from March-April and become less active from November onwards.
