Woodworm Air – Here Comes The Flight Season

News, Woodworm Comments are off

 

Now that winter is over and the evenings remain that little bit lighter for longer. Don’t you find yourself thinking about flying off to exotic climes for that well deserved summer holiday? Well, you are not alone. It might not seem like the perfect holiday destination to you, but there are hordes of hungry visitors coming your way, determined to treat your home just like a hotel.

Flight Season

March until August is woodworm season. It’s then that the adult beetles take to the skies in search of a new home for their offspring. And it’s these larvae that like nothing better than to chew their way through any wood they find. Roof timbers, staircases or joists aren’t safe – even your precious furniture is at risk. It’s all just one big all-you-can-eat buffet for these ravenous, unwelcome guests.

Peter Cox offers not one but two solutions depending upon where the woodworm problem is.

Solutions for varnished wood too!

With Insectasure we have an all purpose water based micro emulsion insecticide treatment that is low odour, low hazard, HSE approved and formulated to deal with woodworm infestation in uncoated timbers such as joists or other internal wooden beams.

Insectacoat is designed specifically to deal with the problem in areas where Insectasure treatments may not be appropriate, such as where wood has been varnished or painted.

Insectacoat is not just the perfect solution to this problem; it is the only solution available on the market for woodworm infestation in varnished or painted wood.

Long-term garuntee

Covered by our 20 year guarantee this quick drying water based treatment contains an effective fast acting pesticide that starts working on removing the problem at the very first point of contact. And once dry – as with Insectasure – Insectacoat is perfectly safe, leaving you with peace of mind and no more woodworm.

So, if you suspect woodworm may have checked in, then check out what Peter Cox can do to help.
