ARGH, Woodworm!

[Mr Fro]

The ongoing saga of the garage extension continues!

I was having a look at the site today and found a few of the existing joists have got woodworm. I think they've come from next doors crap store (garages are side by side and the joists go all the way through both).

They're not mega bad but I want to treat them with some stuff so can anybody recommend something to spray on to kill the buggers and stop them coming back?

Don't really want to call Rentokill as the budget has already gone tits up.

Cheers,

Fro

Hi there fro, if I were you I would buy meself a few litres of Xylophine woodworm treat from your local B&Q - then using a paste brush slap it on the beams, let it dry for at least 12 hrs then do it again and once more, then you'll have no more trouble with worms - well in yer joists anyways

Used to used that stuff on the vintage cars. Worked ok on them. Not sure if creosote (the proper stuff) works

Woodworm likes damp wood - get it nice and dry and the woodworm will go elsewhere.

Sort out whatever leaks exist.

So spray with petrol and set fire to it. Dries the wood, kills the worms and probably solves the saga of the extension.

Thanks chaps, I'll get down to B&Q for some of that stuff. Just got to wait for the other half of the roof to be done first though...

Get some termites, they will drive the woodworm out!

failing that - a couple of tame woodpeckers might work.
