Fine timber dust
Powder or frass below furniture, beams, frames or stored wood can indicate wood-borer activity.

Understanding the pressure
Why Timber Pests Need Early Identification
Termites and wood-borers can stay hidden while damage develops inside timber, wall zones, stored wood or structural details. Surface sprays rarely solve the underlying pressure.
PPS starts with identification and risk mapping: timber condition, moisture sources, soil contact, stored materials and visible flight holes. Treatment and prevention depend on what is active and where the risk is coming from.
- Timber vulnerability
Beams, furniture, stored wood and joinery can hide activity for months. - Moisture pressure
Leaks and damp zones increase risk around timber and wall details.
Identification
Signs of Termites or Wood-Borers
If you see timber dust, holes, mud tubes or soft wood, avoid disturbing the area until it has been inspected.
Exit holes
Small round holes in timber surfaces can show adult insects have emerged.
Mud tubes or soil marks
Earthen tubes or staining around walls and timber may indicate termite movement routes.
Soft or hollow timber
Wood that sounds hollow, flakes or breaks easily needs prompt inspection.
Winged insects
Swarms or shed wings near windows and lights can indicate reproductive activity.
Recurring damage
Fresh damage after cleaning or repair suggests the source was not addressed.
Service program
Treatment matched to the pressure, not a generic spray.
PPS combines inspection, targeted treatment and prevention guidance so the service fits what is actually happening on site.
Timber and moisture survey
Timber and moisture survey
We inspect damaged timber, soil contact, damp zones, stored materials and visible insect evidence before treatment.

Targeted treatment plan
Treatment is selected according to pest identity, timber condition and whether activity is localised or structural.

Building risk priorities
We document moisture, cracks, soil contact, stored wood and maintenance actions that influence future pressure.

Health and safety
Property Risks from Hidden Timber Activity
Timber pests are primarily a property risk. Early inspection helps prevent unnecessary repairs and protects building confidence.
- Structural concerns
Unchecked activity can weaken timber elements and affect building maintenance decisions. - Stored material damage
Furniture, pallets, wooden goods and stored materials can become affected. - Costly repairs
Delayed treatment can turn a localised issue into a larger repair project. - Moisture recurrence
If damp conditions remain, pest pressure can return after surface treatment.
PPS protocol
A clear four-step plan from first sighting to prevention.
The page promise is backed by a repeatable service process: inspect, treat, document and reduce the conditions that caused activity.
Identify evidence
We confirm whether signs point to termites, wood-borers, historic damage or another issue.
Map risk
Timber, moisture, soil contact and stored materials are checked for active and future pressure.
Treat correctly
Targeted treatment is chosen only after activity and access conditions are understood.
Prevent return
Moisture, storage and maintenance recommendations reduce the conditions pests exploit.
Monitoring support
Products for prevention and monitoring after the service plan.
DIY products can support monitoring, hygiene and prevention. They are not a replacement for professional treatment when activity is active or spreading.
Timber Monitoring Checklist
A practical checklist for spotting dust, holes, damp and recurring timber changes.
Moisture Prevention Pack
Support products for reducing damp-prone storage and maintenance risks after PPS advice.
Stored Wood Review Kit
Helpful for checking firewood, pallets and wooden goods before activity spreads indoors.
