Woodworm Control Netherlands: Protect Your Woodwork From Permanent Damage
Have you discovered woodworm holes in beams, floors or furniture and are looking for professional woodworm control netherlands? Then you have come to the right place at Janssen Pest Control. After all, woodworms are not a harmless pest - they eat your woodwork from the inside and can seriously weaken load-bearing structures. That is why Janssen Pest Control offers thorough woodworm control netherlands with proven methods that eliminate larvae at all stages.
Why Woodworms Are So Dangerous
Woodworms are actually larvae of small beetles that eat their way through wood. The problem is that they do this for years - 2 to 5 years larvae remain active in the wood. Moreover, from the outside you often cannot see how serious the damage is. A beam can look solid but be eaten out inside for 70%. In addition, woodworms cause structural weakening of load-bearing parts: roof beams can collapse, floors can collapse and window frames lose their strength. These risks make professional woodworm control netherlands absolutely necessary.
Early Intervention Saves Thousands of Dollars
Treating an incipient woodworm infestation will cost a few hundred euros. However, if you wait too long and beams have to be replaced, you are soon talking about tens of thousands of euros in repair costs. Therefore, quick action at the first signs is crucial. Moreover, while waiting, the infestation spreads to more timber parts, making treatment more complex and expensive.

Why Choose Our Woodworm Control?
At woodworm control netherlands thorough expertise is essential. This is why Pest Control Janssen stands out as a specialist:
More than 20 years of experience
My name is Johan and I have been fighting woodworms for more than 20 years. In that time, I have controlled hundreds of infestations - from incipient infestations to serious damage to roof structures. This experience makes all the difference. Because I can see at a glance how bad it is, what treatment is needed and whether there are structural risks. Moreover, I work with reliable carpenters if wood needs to be replaced.
Professional Resources That Penetrate Deeply
Woodworm larvae are up to 2 centimetres deep in the wood. DIY remedies from the hardware store do not get there - they penetrate only 2-3 millimetres. In contrast, we use professional permethrin-based pesticides that penetrate 10-20 millimetres deep. We also use injection methods in cases of severe infestation to get agent directly into the passages where the larvae are.
Thorough Inspection Prevents Surprises
I don't just inspect the wood where you saw holes. I check all the vulnerable wood in your house: roof beams and purlins, wooden floors and skirting boards, window frames and stairs, wooden furniture and panelling. Because often woodworms are also found in wood that still looks good. Moreover, I measure the moisture content - because moisture is often the cause and needs to be addressed to prevent recurrence.
Construction Advice Included
In case of deterioration of load-bearing parts, I assess whether the wood is still structurally safe. I use an awl to test its strength. If necessary, I call in a structural engineer. Because safety comes first. I also give honest advice: if wood has to be replaced, I say so. Even if it means more expensive treatment.
Warranty and aftercare
After treatment, you get a warranty. If woodworms come back within the warranty period (and you have followed my prevention advice), I will treat again at no extra cost. Moreover, you are not alone after the job - you can always call me with questions about aftercare or prevention.

Our Approach: From Woodworm Coat to Woodworm Free
We take a systematic approach to woodworm control netherlands that ensures lasting results:
Step 1: Comprehensive Inspection and Damage Assessment
I come by for a thorough inspection. First, I look at the wood where you saw holes. Then I inspect all the other vulnerable wood in your house. I look for exit holes (small round holes of 1-2mm), fresh borings (light-coloured wood sawdust - sign of active infestation) and test the strength of affected wood. I also measure the moisture content because woodworms thrive on 12-18% moisture. This inspection takes 1-2 hours on average and gives complete picture of the situation.
Step 2: Report with Fixed Price
After inspection, you get a clear report: where exactly are the woodworms, is the infestation active (fresh borings) or old, how severe is the damage and are there any structural risks. Moreover, you get a fixed price for the treatment - no surprises afterwards. You will also get my advice on moisture control and possible replacement of affected wood.
Step 3: Professional Treatment
I treat all affected wood with professional woodworm pesticides. These agents penetrate deep into the wood (10-20mm) and kill both larvae and eggs. In addition, I also treat surrounding wood preventively because there may be eggs there that are not yet visible. In seriously infested wood, I use injection systems to bring pesticides directly into the holes. The agents remain effective for months and provide long-term protection.
Step 4: Tackling the moisture problem
Woodworms rarely enter dry wood. That is why I advise on moisture control: repairing leaks, improving ventilation, eliminating moisture sources and, if necessary, applying a moisture barrier. Because if the underlying moisture problem is not addressed, woodworms will return. These preventive measures are as important as the treatment itself.
Step 5: Collaboration with Professionals
For serious damage requiring wood replacement, I work with experienced carpenters. I can recommend reliable craftsmen with whom I have worked for years. They replace the affected wood, after which I treat the new wood preventively. This team approach guarantees that your construction is once again safe and woodworm-free.
