Timber pest activity

Protect timber from wood-borer activity.

Show us the holes, powder and affected timber. We will inspect the activity and explain whether a treatment recommendation applies.

Australian Pest Control uses practical inspection experience to identify wood-borer signs, understand the affected timber scope and explain appropriate treatment and observation steps.

Questions about Wood Borer Control

Does powder below timber suggest wood-borer activity?

It can be a useful warning sign, but the timber and surrounding evidence should be inspected before the activity and scope are identified.

Should affected furniture be moved before inspection?

Keep the item accessible but avoid moving it through the property unnecessarily until the signs and nearby timber have been assessed.

Is wood-borer work the same as termite treatment?

No. Both can affect timber, but identification, building context and the relevant service recommendation need separate assessment.
