Tiny round holes in a door frame and a small pile of fine wood dust underneath every morning — that is wood borer, not termite. It needs a different treatment, and we see it often in older solid-wood furniture and new furniture made from poorly seasoned timber.
What is wood borer control and why it matters in Indirapuram
Wood borers are beetles whose larvae tunnel inside wood for months or years. When the adults emerge they leave neat pin-sized exit holes and push out powdery frass. Unlike termites, they do not need contact with soil, so they can appear on any floor of a building and in single pieces of furniture.
Signs you need wood borer control
- Pin-sized round holes in wood
- Fine, flour-like powder below furniture or door frames
- Weak or crumbling wood edges
- Small beetles near windows in summer
The damage if it is left untreated
Left alone, wood borers weaken bed frames, chair legs and door frames until they crack, and they spread to nearby furniture.
How we do it: Wood Borer Control, step by step
- IdentifyConfirm wood borer (not termite) and check how many pieces are affected.
- InjectionEach active hole is injected with a borer-specific chemical using a fine nozzle.
- Surface treatmentUnpolished surfaces are brushed or sprayed so the chemical soaks in.
- SealingHoles are filled with wax or putty after the chemical dries.
How to prepare before our visit
- Show us every piece with fresh powder under it
- Empty drawers of the affected furniture
- Tell us whether the wood is polished, laminated or raw
Chemicals, safety and re-entry time
We use registered wood-preservative insecticides suitable for indoor furniture. The treated piece should not be used for 4–6 hours and the room should be ventilated.
All products are used by technicians working under Govt. Licence No. 1488-GZB, following the label instructions for dose and ventilation.
Common DIY mistakes we see in Indirapuram
- Filling holes with wax before treating them
- Moving infested furniture next to new furniture
- Confusing wood borer with termites and getting the wrong treatment
When wood borer control is needed most
Adult wood borer beetles usually emerge in late spring and summer, so fresh powder and new holes are most noticeable from April to July.
For homes and for businesses

Most homes need treatment of a few pieces — doors, beds, dining sets. Price is usually per piece or per area.
