The farmhouse and Barn seem to have had a fair battle with woodworm over the years .
Things seemed to be under control within reason , I thought As long as it's dry you can't get woodworm I was told ....
Last week I was out in our clean dry storage container and an old piano stool the wife had bought years ago ( and never used ) was in the process of being completely demolished by woodworm . An old wooden crate of mine also seems to be fair game . I can also see a bit of activity on the barn roof trusses .
A bit of research shows Permethrin as the active ingredient in most of these treatments . I see I can buy a concentrate that dilutes with water http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LIGNUM-PR...851341?hash=item2cb518a18d:g:p08AAOSw4CFY5RQg to make 25ltrs . Permethrin is widely used as an insecticide by Vets and even for coating outdoor clothing to stop tick attacks .
Alternatively others use Boron ?
Has anyone had any experience killing woodworm and what did you use ?.
