Woodworm Treatment In Staffordshire
At Premier Pest Control, we offer expert woodworm treatment to those throughout Staffordshire to help protect their homes and businesses from experiencing lasting damage. Woodworm is caused by the larvae of wood-boring beetles, which feed on timber and weaken the structure over time. Signs include small holes in wood, fine dust, and crumbling edges.
Our team begins with a full inspection to assess the level of activity and locate the affected areas. We then take safe and effective steps to treat the problem, helping to stop further damage and prevent future infestations. Whether the issue is in floors, beams, furniture or stored timber, we make sure each service suits your property’s needs.
Expert Woodworm Removal In Burton Upon Trent
As time goes by, infested wood can become more and more brittle and unstable. This can impact the floorboards, roof timbers, beams, skirting boards, and any other types of furniture. In much more serious cases, woodworm can compromise the safety of your property, leading to incredibly costly repairs, especially if they have spread to larger areas.
Our experienced team will always start the job with a thorough inspection of your building to locate all signs of woodworm activity, such as tiny round holes, bore dust (frass), weakened timber, or visible beetles. We assess the extent of the infestation and determine which areas are at risk. Once the problem is confirmed, we provide a structured removal plan that follows the current UK safety and environmental guidelines.
Our Specialised Woodworm Services
We offer specialised woodworm services designed to protect your property from damage caused by wood-boring insects. Our team has the knowledge and experience to identify a broad number of signs that you may have an infestation. We'll also be able to assess the level of risk and provide the safest, most effective solutions for you. Every service we provide promises lasting protection for your home or business.
Injection Treatment for Deep Infestations
For more serious or deep-set infestations, we may use injection treatment. This usually involves drilling various small holes into the affected timber and injecting a powerful woodworm control solution directly into the centre of the wood. This method targets larvae that surface treatments might not reach and is ideal for thicker beams, joists or structural timbers where full penetration is needed. It makes sure the treatment used goes deep inside, as this is where the damage often starts.
Heat Treatment (Where Suitable)
In some cases, heat treatments are most effective and can be used to eliminate woodworm without the need for harsh chemicals. This method involves raising the temperature of the wood to a level that kills all life stages of the insect, including eggs, larvae and adults. It is highly effective when used in more controlled conditions, such as for furniture or smaller timber items. While it isn't always suitable for every situation, it’s a safe and chemical-free option where applicable.
Protective Wood Preservatives
As part of long-term prevention, we apply protective wood preservatives to untreated or vulnerable wood. These treatments not only help repel wood-boring insects but also protect timber from damp and fungal growth, both of which can attract woodworm. This is especially useful in lofts, basements and a number of other areas where you're most likely to encounter poor ventilation or older timber. It strengthens the wood and lowers the chance of future infestations.

How Our Woodworm Pest Control Can Help
Our pest control services understand that woodworms can quietly have a large impact on the strength and safety of your property. These pests are not always the easiest to spot on a whim, and by the time signs appear, the damage may already be done. That’s why acting quickly and seeking expert help is vital.
Our team uses years of experience to detect early signs that are often missed during routine checks. We don’t just focus on visible damage; we examine roof spaces, floor voids and other hidden areas where woodworm may be active.
By catching these problems early, we help get rid of the need for any major repairs later on. Professional support also ensures that the correct treatment is used for the right type of beetle. With our advice, all local property owners can avoid unnecessary damage, repeat infestations or the use of unsuitable products.
Emergency Woodworm Control
Woodworm may seem like a slow-moving problem, but when left neglected for too long, it can cause serious damage to structural timbers, floors, roof supports and furniture.
In some cases, what begins as a few tiny holes can quickly develop into widespread internal damage, weakening wood from the inside out. If left untreated, this may lead to unsafe floors, sagging ceilings, or it could even cause a collapse of your building in more severe cases.
Our emergency service responds quickly to assess the damage, confirm active infestation, and advise on the next steps to protect your property. We prioritise areas that may affect safety, such as roof beams and floor joists, and provide clear guidance to prevent further harm.
