Borer Treatment provides timber protection treatments with a guarantee of protection. Surface saturation with Tim-bor® (di-sodium octoborate) solution is environmentally friendly, odourless and long lasting. Borer treatment of timbers to remove borer infestation is the same for whichever species is present. Exposed timber can be treated with insecticides that penetrate the wood and will protect it for 10 years or more. Usually the floor timbers are attacked because of the high relative humidity in the sub-floor.
Borer Treatment can treat these exposed timbers to eradicate the borer and protect the timbers. Weatherboard homes in New Zealand are not always pre-treated and are often infested where the softer, non-heartwood timber has been used. Weather boards are more difficult to treat as they are painted on the outside and not usually exposed. However, weather boards can be treated by injecting the wall cavities and back-side of the weatherboards. The penetrating treatment will kill larvae within the boards and prevent adults reinfesting the boards via the exposed wood, injecting old exit holes on the outside is not effective.
Our borer treatment is SAFE, 100% Natural, Long-term effective and 100% Guaranteed.
