BORER
There are 2 main types of borer in this country.
1: The Common Borer
2: The Two Tooth (or long horned borer).
The main borer we tend to come across is the Common Borer which makes small round exit holes about the same size and shape as a pinhead and lives for up to 3 years in the timber.
The Two-toothed borer makes much larger, oval-shaped holes and lives for up to 11 years in the timber. You won’t see an entry hole, only an exit hole.
To treat borer effectively in a building, you really need to be considering some kind of renovating. Unless of course, the borer is only in the subfloor.
We have a few different treatments for borer. Get in touch with us for more information.
