BORER ALERT!!!!
25th of May, 2016
Our enquiries about borer have increased this season as it now seems to be a standard part of a building inspection and is also becoming a common condition of house sales.
For borer treatments, we send our technicians around for an obligation free quote.
Borer treatments can be needed in various areas of your house, i.e, under floor, roof cavity, interior and exterior.
As a guide, these treatments vary in price from $800 upwards.
We have two different treatments available. Firstly, a wet spray application which is a one off application that needs to be applied to untreated or stripped wood. This treatment also involves removing any insulation before treatment, and allowing a few days after treatment before it is replaced.
The second option is using a gas (similar to borer bombs), for which you would need to vacate the premises for a day. This treatment also needs to be repeated every year (ideally between October and March), for 7 to 10 years.
