The powdery dust means the beetles are already inside the wood
Wood borer damage happens from the inside out. By the time you notice the holes and dust, the larvae have been feeding through the timber for months.
Furniture and fixtures hollow out
Beds, wardrobes, doors, frames and paneling are tunnelled from within — what looks solid can weaken and crack under normal use.
Replacement costs far more than treatment
Once a piece is riddled, it usually has to be replaced. Early treatment saves the furniture and the cost of buying new.
It spreads to nearby wood
Adult beetles emerge and lay eggs in other wooden items nearby. One infested cupboard becomes a whole room of affected furniture.
Every season is another generation
Left alone, the beetles complete their cycle and re-infest — the damage compounds year after year.
Tiny holes and powdery dust are the signal to act. One treatment, written 1-year guarantee.
What this service includes
After termites, wood borer beetles are the second wood-destroying insect that quietly wrecks Karachi homes. They bore into wooden furniture and fixtures, leaving tunnels that hollow the wood and small holes that shed a fine powdery dust. We treat affected and at-risk wood directly, and back the work with a written 1-year guarantee.

Wood Borer FAQs
How do I know it is wood borer and not termite?
Wood borer leaves small round holes and a fine, flour-like powder around furniture. Termites leave mud tubes and damp, mud-packed tunnels. We confirm which one it is on inspection.
Can you save the furniture or does it need replacing?
If caught early, treatment stops the beetles and saves the piece. Heavily hollowed items may still need replacing — we tell you honestly on inspection.
Is the treatment safe indoors?
Yes — we use EPA & WHO-recommended chemicals and advise a short ventilation window before normal use.
