Small woodworm (Anobium punctatum)

De kleine houtwormkever, ook wel gewone houtworm genoemd, is een van de meest voorkomende houtaantasters in België. De kever zelf is slechts 2,5 tot 5 mm groot en heeft een donkerbruine kleur. De larven leven jarenlang in het hout en vreten tunnels waardoor het hout intern wordt uitgehold.

Features:

• Small, round exit holes of ±2 mm.
• Fijn boormeel onder houten objecten of vloeren.
• Most commonly found in attic beams, furniture, flooring and other soft coniferous woods.

Risks:

Although damage occurs slowly, the structure of wooden floors, roofs and furniture can become seriously weakened over time.

Grote houtworm of huisboktor (Hylotrupes bajulus)

De grote houtworm, beter bekend als de huisboktor, is veel agressiever dan de kleine houtworm. De larven van deze kever kunnen tot 10 jaar in het hout leven en vreten brede gangen die de draagkracht van houten structuren ernstig aantasten.

Features:

• Larger oval exit holes of 6 to 10 mm.
• Zichtbare vraatgangen en soms krakende geluiden in het hout.
• Dark beetle of 8 to 25 mm, with grey spots on the carapace.
• Aangetast hout klinkt hol bij kloppen en laat los bij aanraking.

Risks:

The house longhorn beetle can cause structural damage to beams, roof structures and wooden facades. Timely intervention is crucial to prevent the risk of collapse.

KillBugs expertly combats woodworms in 4 steps

1. Grondige inspectie en diagnose

Elke houtwormbehandeling begint met een professionele inspectie van het houtwerk. We bepalen om welk type houtworm het gaat en hoe ver de larven zich in het hout verspreid hebben. Zo kunnen we een gerichte behandeling opstellen die maximale resultaten oplevert.

2. Surface treatment for light damage

Is the infestation limited and superficial, such as small woodworm in furniture or floors? Then we carry out a surface treatment with recognised biocides. This method is fast, safe and efficient, and forms an excellent preventive protection against re-infestation.

3. Deep treatment for severe woodworm damage

In the case of a serious woodworm infestation or infestation by the house longhorn beetle, a deep treatment is necessary. In this case, we inject a powerful biocide directly into the wood through specially drilled holes. In this way, the agent penetrates deeply and destroys the larvae in the core of the wood.

4. Aftercare, certificate and warranty

After the treatment you will receive an official certificate of woodworm control, often mandatory for sales, renovation or for insurance. In addition, we give a 10-year written guarantee on our treatment, so that you can continue building or living with peace of mind.
