Our natural-first approach to wood-boring beetles in the Dartmouth-Sunapee

We apply borate treatments to affected and vulnerable wood. Moisture control is essential since most wood borers prefer damp wood. Severe infestations may require structural fumigation referral. We identify conditions common to lake cottages and customize every treatment to your property's specific needs.

Wood-boring Beetles questions from Dartmouth-Sunapee residents

Severity depends on the species and extent. Some beetles only infest bark-covered wood, others attack structural timbers. Our inspection identifies the species and recommends appropriate treatment.

Some species re-infest structural wood, while others only complete one generation. Old house borers and powderpost beetles can spread. Identification determines treatment urgency.

Borate treatments provide long-lasting protection when applied to wood. We address moisture issues that attract borers and treat vulnerable wood surfaces. Monitoring confirms elimination.

Larvae feed inside wood for 1-10 years depending on species. Damage accumulates slowly and may not be noticed until adults emerge. Annual inspections catch infestations early.
