Borer Infestations — The Silent Destroyers
Why Borers Cause Costly Damage to Homes & Furniture
Wood-boring beetles lay eggs in timber, and their larvae (grubs) can spend years tunnelling undetected inside the wood, feeding on it. The damage often becomes visible only when the adult beetles emerge, leaving behind tell-tale exit holes and potentially widespread internal weakening.

Structural Weakening
Active infestations in floor joists, roof beams, or foundations can seriously compromise the structural integrity and safety of your property over time.

2
Damage to Valuables
Furniture, antiques, flooring, and decorative timber can be ruined by borer larvae, leading to significant financial and sentimental loss.

Hidden & Hard to Treat
Because the larvae are deep inside the wood, DIY surface sprays are ineffective. Professional treatment is required to penetrate the timber and stop the lifecycle.

Simple, Proven Tips to Prevent Wood Borers
Quick steps our Sydney & Brisbane customers use to make their property less vulnerable to borer attack.
Control Moisture
Borers are attracted to damp timber. Fix leaks, improve drainage, and use dehumidifiers in damp areas.
Ensure Ventilation
Good airflow in sub-floor areas and attics helps keep timber dry and less appealing to borers.
Seal & Varnish Wood
A good quality paint or varnish can prevent egg-laying beetles from accessing the bare wood.
Inspect Firewood
Check firewood for borer holes before bringing it inside, and store it away from the house.
Check Secondhand Furniture
Thoroughly inspect any antique or secondhand wooden items for exit holes before purchase.
Use Treated Timber
For new construction, extensions, or repairs, always use professionally pre-treated timber.
Do this
- • Schedule regular professional timber pest inspections
- • Address any plumbing leaks or moisture issues quickly
- • Keep sub-floor ventilation clear and unobstructed
Avoid this
- • Storing untreated firewood or timber against the house
- • Ignoring small exit holes or piles of fine dust (frass)
- • Using unseasoned or untreated timber for DIY projects
