Do you know what to look for when it comes to Borer in older houses? Understanding the signs of Borer infestation is crucial for homeowners, especially in older properties where wood structures may be more susceptible to damage. We do! Our team has extensive experience in identifying the telltale signs of Borer activity, which can often go unnoticed until substantial damage has occurred. These are some images from recent finds on houses we have inspected, showcasing various stages of infestation and the types of damage that can be caused by these wood-boring insects. Each image highlights specific areas of concern, such as frass (the fine powdery residue left behind), exit holes, and weakened wood structures. By examining these indicators closely, we can help homeowners take proactive measures to address any infestations before they escalate, ensuring the integrity and safety of their homes. Additionally, we provide recommendations for treatment options and preventative measures to safeguard against future infestations. Protecting your investment and maintaining the structural health of your home is our priority.
