Inspection : Pest control technicians begin by conducting a thorough inspection of the affected wooden structures or items. They look for signs of woodborer infestations, such as small exit holes, fine sawdust-like frass, and the presence of adult beetles or larvae.

Identification : Different species of woodborers may have different habits and vulnerabilities, so it's important to identify the specific type of woodborer causing the infestation.

Treatment : Woodborer control treatments typically involve a combination of methods, including:

Insecticidal Treatments : Insecticides may be applied to the surface of the wood or injected directly into infested areas to kill the woodborer larvae and adults.

Fumigation: In some cases, fumigation with specialized chemicals may be necessary to treat the wood thoroughly.

Heat Treatment : Heat treatment involves raising the temperature of the infested wood to levels that are lethal to woodborer larvae and adults.

Borate Treatments: Borate-based products may be used to treat and protect wood from future woodborer infestations.

Wood Repair and Restoration : After the infestation has been treated and eradicated, any damaged wood may need to be repaired or replaced. Pest control professionals may work with carpenters or woodworkers to ensure that structural integrity is restored.

Preventive Measures : Woodborer control services often provide recommendations for preventive measures to reduce the risk of future infestations. This can include treating susceptible wood with protective coatings or chemicals, improving ventilation to reduce moisture levels, and sealing cracks and gaps in wooden structures.

Follow-up Inspections : Regular follow-up inspections may be necessary to ensure that the woodborer infestation has been effectively eliminated and to address any reinfestations.
