Woodworm Prevention

Preventing woodworm infestation is essential to protect wooden structures, furniture, and other valuable wood items. Key prevention steps include:

• Maintain Low Moisture Levels: Woodworm thrive in damp environments. Use dehumidifiers and ensure adequate ventilation to keep wood dry.

• Regular Inspections: Conduct periodic checks for signs of infestation, like small exit holes or fine sawdust (frass).

• Proper Wood Treatment: Apply wood preservatives and insecticides designed to repel and kill wood-boring insects before infestation occurs.

• Seal Cracks and Holes: Woodworm larvae enter through splits or cracks. Regularly seal or repair any damaged wood surfaces.

• Use Kiln-Dried Wood: For construction or furniture, choose kiln-dried wood which is less likely to harbor larvae.

Curative Treatment

If an infestation is detected, timely treatment is crucial:

• Identify Infestation Extent: Assess affected areas through visual inspection or professional moisture measurements.

• Chemical Treatment: Apply specialized insecticidal treatments, such as boron-based or permethrin solutions, directly on and inside the wood to eradicate larvae.

• Surface Preparation: Drill small holes into the wood surface to ensure deeper penetration of treatment chemicals for severe infestations.

• Fumigation: In extreme cases, whole-structure fumigation by professionals may be necessary to eliminate wood-boring insects.

• Wood Replacement or Repair: Severely damaged wood may need to be replaced or structurally reinforced.

• Prevention Post-Treatment: Implement moisture control and maintenance practices to prevent reinfestation.

Regular maintenance and professional consultation can safeguard wooden assets from woodworm damage effectively.

Wildlife Prevention & Management

Effective wildlife prevention and management are essential to maintaining safe and healthy environments for both humans and animals. At Beeyond Pest Control, we specialize in proactive strategies designed to prevent wildlife intrusion and manage existing wildlife issues efficiently and humanely.

Prevention Strategies

Wildlife prevention involves identifying potential entry points and environmental factors that attract animals such as deer, rabbits, moles, badgers, foxes, squirrels, bats, birds, and rodents. Key prevention measures include:

• Sealing gaps, cracks, and openings in building structures.

• Installing barriers such as mesh screens and chimney caps.

• Removing food sources and minimizing waste exposure.

• Managing landscaping to reduce animal shelter and nesting areas.

Wildlife Management

When prevention is not enough, management focuses on humane removal and safe relocation of wildlife. Our approach includes:

• Live trapping and exclusion techniques that ensure animals are safely removed without harm.

• Habitat modification to make properties less hospitable for wildlife.

• Ongoing monitoring and maintenance to prevent re-entry.

Why Professional Wildlife Management Matters

Attempting to handle wildlife issues without professional assistance can lead to injury, disease exposure, and property damage. Certified specialists at Beeyond Pest Control have the training and tools necessary to manage wildlife concerns responsibly and in compliance with local regulations.

By implementing comprehensive wildlife prevention and management solutions, we help protect your property, preserve wildlife welfare, and promote peace of mind.
