• Furniture

  Chairs, tables, cabinets and old pieces. Product goes into the holes and over the wood, in a form that dries fast and does not hurt the polish.

Borers in Ghatkopar homes

Plenty of family homes on both sides of Ghatkopar keep old cupboards and beds for years, and that is the sort of hardwood borers like. An old piece that moves to a new flat near R-City can carry them along without anybody noticing, and borers can then spread to other wood in the home, even new modular cupboards. Damp months make it worse.

People mix them up with termites all the time. Round holes and dry powder mean borers. Mud lines mean termites. Each one needs a different job, and that is why we check before quoting.

• What does wood borer treatment cost in Ghatkopar?

  Rates begin at ₹2,800. One chair is a small job, while a house full of cupboards and a wooden floor is a large one, so your figure comes after the free look. Ring 80979 41077 or WhatsApp some pictures first. The rate stays the same in Ghatkopar East and West.

• Can my grandmother's old teak cupboard be saved?

  Very often, yes, if the wood has not gone weak. Old pieces get the same injection and surface spray as new ones, and we are careful with them. If it has gone too far, we will tell you straight, because a badly eaten cupboard can keep passing borers to your other wood.

• Is it wood borer or termite? How can I tell?

  Look at what it leaves behind. Borers leave dry powder and neat round holes, usually in one piece of furniture. Termites build mud lines, make wood sound empty, and tend to arrive from the wall or the ground. Save some of the powder in a paper, and show us when we come.

• Will the injection spoil the polish on my furniture?

  It is not supposed to. The product dries quickly and is made to go on finished wood, and we only put it where it is needed. If you are nervous about a costly old piece, tell us at the inspection and ask for a test on a spot nobody sees.

• Should I shift the affected furniture to another room?

  Pull it a little away from your other wooden things if it is safe to lift. Do not send it to a relative's home or into a store room, though, since the borers go along with it. Sweep or vacuum the powder, leave the holes open, and call us.

• My new modular kitchen has wood dust. How is that possible?

  It is not common, but it does happen. The plywood may have had borers when it was cut, or they may have moved across from an older piece close by. Save some powder in an envelope and take pictures. Speak to your carpenter as well, since the job may be covered.

• What actually kills wood borers inside furniture?

  The product has to get inside, so we inject it into the holes and then spray the outside. Costly pieces can also get preventive protection. Vinegar and other home tricks are not something we use or can speak for. Sweep the powder away first, so any fresh powder shows live borers.

• Can borers move from one piece of furniture to another?

  They can, and that is the main reason to act early. New beetles fly out of one piece and lay eggs in the next one. Have a look at whatever stands close by, including door frames and any wooden floor. We will check all of it during the free inspection as well.

• How do I stop wood borer from returning?

  Keep rooms as dry as you can, use treated wood for new carpentry, and look over your furniture every few months, mainly after the monsoon. You have 3 free follow-up visits a year inside the warranty, and that is a handy time to have any new powder or holes checked.

• Do you treat doors, beams and wooden floors as well?

  Yes, not just furniture. Doors, window frames, beams and wooden floors all get a deeper treatment, and they take longer than a chair or a table. You may need to clear some furniture first. Show us exactly where you see holes, and you will hear the plan before work starts.
