Borer Treatment in Auckland

The common house borer causes most of the insect damage to structural and decorative timber in New Zealand, and it can badly damage untreated dry timber in buildings and furniture. Signs are small round exit holes 1 to 2 mm across, and adult beetles appear from November to January. Preservative-treated timber has greatly reduced infestations, so untreated timber is where the risk sits.

Ask a company how it checks whether the borer is still active, which timber it can reach, and what it records about the work. Listings below show which companies say on their own websites that they treat borer.
