- Woodboring weevil is generally associated with wood rot. This video explains some of the subtle signs of both. Woodboring weevil is a type of woodworm and as it generally infests timber with a high moisture content that is starting to decay the woodboring weevil is normally regarded as a secondary issue with the main issue being the fungal decay (wood rot). Eliminating the fungal decay will also eliminate the woodboring weevil.
Another great video, only just came across your channel but some great content, from a fellow surveyor in London. We have a lot of similar housing stock to this.
Excellent and informative. Thank you for this. How would one go about remedying this issue? Would it involve increasing ventilation within the floor void?
Hi Simon, you are correct in that increasing the sub-floor ventilation will In turn reduce the moisture content of sub-floor timbers meaning that the fungal decay ceases and the wood boring weevil dies out. No need for chemical treatment. 👍
Hi Simon, you are spot on. Ventilation is crucial to reduce the moisture content of the sub-floor timbers.
