A Revolutionary, Non-Toxic Approach to Woodworm Treatment

Conventional woodworm treatments often involve harsh chemicals, invasive procedures, or the need to remove and replace affected wood. Our parasitic wasp treatment is completely natural, using a microscopic parasitic wasp - Spathius exarator - that specifically hunts the larvae of the common furniture beetle (Anobium punctatum), the species behind most UK woodworm. The female wasp detects a larva tunnelling beneath the surface, pierces the timber with her ovipositor and lays a single egg on it; the developing wasp then destroys the woodworm from within - eliminating the infestation without damaging the surrounding wood. This makes it ideal for sensitive and irreplaceable items where traditional methods are not suitable.
