Family, Pet and Environmentally Friendly Borer Control Sydney
Have you noticed dust piles around your furniture? Are there any curvy lines on your floorboards? There can be bad news for you. Your home probably is under the attack of borers. Most homes in Australia have wooden items, which means, the constant danger of borer infestation. These wood-consuming insects are usually found in softwood and hardwood timbers and can be categorised as active or inactive depending upon their lifespan and seasoned timber. The best way to get rid of the problem is to replace or remove the timber, but hiring the professionals from 247 Pest Control for borer control Sydney has proved as a great help to residents.
Common Borer Species in Australia
Moist to Dry Timber Borers
These borers are not categorised as a threat to humans. They require moisture to lay eggs and they live for a short time. Hence, there is no particular need to be anxious about borer infestation in cases of moist to dry timbers. The common names for this species are – Longicorn and Auger Beetle.
Dry Timber Borers
The most common names for these species are Anobium Borer (furniture beetle) and Lyctus Borer. These creatures relatively have a longer lifespan, from 1 – 3 years.
- Anobium Borer is usually found in staircases and cupboards. They act slow and make the timber brittle over time. They do not attack/consume hardwood timber.
- Lyctus Borer attacks sapwood timbers and hence the damage is limited, as sapwood consists of only 25% of structural timber, and the rest 75% is hardwood.
Identifying Borer Infestation
Certain signs can pick in the initial stages to treat the infestation.
- Tunnels in the wood – These are galleries produced by borers.
- Wood dust build-ups – These are dropping of borers, and can be noticed outside the holes.
- Brittle floorboards – If you have noticed the floorboards have become weak, borer infestation is to be blamed.
- Dead beetles – Noticing dead beetles around infested timber in the home.
- Round/oval-shaped holes in timber – When you notice fresh holes in the round and oval shape in the timber, they are made by borers.
- Ticking sound – Immature borers produce a ticking sound while producing the tunnels. The noise can be heard clearly in silence.
