About This Service

Reliable Woodworm Treatment

Woodworm may be small, but the damage they leave behind can be a serious problem. These wood-boring insects feed on timber, slowly weakening wooden structures, furniture, and other items over time. If left untreated, woodworm can cause costly damage and may affect the strength and safety of the wood in your property. Spotting the signs early, such as small holes or damaged timber, can help prevent bigger issues.

Benefits

Why Choose us for Woodworm treatment?

Qualified, practical technicians

RSPH Level 2 qualified staff with countryside experience who correctly identify species and apply the right timber-preservation techniques for lasting results.

Ethical, minimally invasive approach

Treatments focus on targeted control and preservation of original timber and furniture, avoiding blanket treatments and unnecessary dismantling of historic fabric.

Local Family Team You Can Trust

Operated by father-and-daughter team Ian and Emma, Rodect provides straightforward advice, careful inspections and practical treatment recommendations tailored to the affected timber.

What we inspect

We look for active exit holes, frass (powdery dust), weakened joists and adult beetle activity in both structural timbers and furnishings. Common culprits are the common furniture beetle and the deathwatch beetle; identifying the species dictates treatment and lifespan of the larvae. After inspection you receive a clear written report with recommended actions and timescales.

“Ian and his daughter came to my property at short notice, dealt with the wasps nest and I’ve not seen one since. They were friendly, really helpful and treat your home with care. I would 100% recommend and will use them again if needed. ”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service from start to finish. He arrived exactly on time, was friendly, professional, and got straight to work. I had a huge wasp nest, and he had it dealt with in around 20 minutes. He even took the nest away with him afterwards, leaving everything clean and tidy. He was also the cheapest quote I could find, but the quality of the service was outstanding. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing pest control. Great work – thank you!”

“I contacted Ian and Emma at Rodect Pest Control through Checkatrader and received a response within 10 minutes. They arrived within 30 minutes of being contacted, which was incredibly impressive. The service was fantastic from start to finish. The rat problem was dealt with quickly and effectively, and within just a few days they were completely gone. As promised, they returned within 14 days to remove the bait boxes and ensure everything was sorted. Ian and Emma provide a brilliant, professional service and are a genuinely friendly family-run business. Reliable, knowledgeable, and highly efficient – I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing pest control services.”
