Our Wood Borer Treatment Process in Bangalore

Wood Damage Assessment & Species Identification

Our specialist inspects all wooden furniture, flooring, structural beams, and roof timber. Exit hole diameter, frass texture, and damage pattern are used to identify the specific beetle species — which determines the most effective treatment chemical and method.

Flight Hole Injection Treatment

A blunt-tip injection needle is inserted into each visible exit hole. Bifenthrin 10% EC or Permethrin 25% EC insecticide is pressure-injected directly into the tunnel network — reaching and killing larvae at depths of 5–10cm that surface sprays cannot penetrate.

Borate Surface Treatment

Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate (DOT) solution is applied to all exposed wood surfaces using brush or spray. Borates penetrate the wood grain and create a toxic zone that kills any larvae attempting to feed on treated wood. Borates are safe for humans and pets once dry.

Fumigation (For Severe Cases)

Highly infested or artistically valuable pieces are fumigated using Phosphine (Aluminium Phosphide) gas in a sealed fumigation chamber. This achieves 100% mortality across all life stages (egg, larva, pupa, and adult) and is the gold standard for museum-grade conservation treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which types of wood are most vulnerable to wood borers in Bangalore?

Sapwood of all species is vulnerable, but softwoods and hardwoods with high starch content are most at risk. In Bangalore, commonly infested wood includes plywood (inner veneers), pine, sapele, and lower-grade teak. Aged, seasoned hardwood teak is naturally more resistant but not immune.

What is the difference between termites and wood borers?

Termites (social insects) attack wood from the outside in, building mud tubes and consuming cellulose. Wood borers (beetle larvae) attack from the inside out — eggs are laid in cracks and larvae tunnel through wood for years. Termite damage is often structural; wood borer damage appears as exit holes and bore dust. Both require different treatments.

How long does wood borer treatment take?

Treatment of a 3-bedroom home's furniture typically takes 3–5 hours. The flight hole injection process is methodical — each hole must be individually treated. Borate surface treatment adds another 1–2 hours. Fumigation, if required, takes 48–72 hours.
