<\/span><\/h3>\nOnly pure isopropanol alcohol should be used for this control method. This alcohol is characterized by the fact that it evaporates completely without leaving any residue and is also very cheap at around 5 euros per liter. This method is more suitable for small wooden objects, as too much isopropanol evaporates at one time with larger wooden objects. This can result in a highly explosive mixture of isopropanol and air, which would immediately explode from an ignition source.<\/p>\n
For this reason, isopropanol should generally only be used in well-ventilated rooms! If, on the other hand, the work is carried out outdoors, there are no problems with the evaporated isopropanol. The wood to be treated will survive the alcohol treatment undamaged, but certain varnishes and wood treatments can be attacked by alcohol. Therefore, find out beforehand whether your treated wood surface can tolerate isopropanol or test it out on a small area.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Once all of this has been resolved, work can begin: Brush the wooden object thoroughly with the alcohol. You should apply as much isopropanol as possible, especially in the area of the wooden holes. When applying, proceed as quickly as possible so that as little alcohol evaporates as possible. After the application, the wooden object is thoroughly wrapped in painter’s foil so that the isopropanol can soak into the wood and not evaporate. After an exposure time of three days, all woodworms are also fought here. If the wood is thicker than 3 cm, the alcohol may no longer be able to penetrate the core of the wood and the treatment may not fight every woodworm. For thin woods, however, it is often a very good method to completely combat the woodworm.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Woodworm infestation on load-bearing wooden objects<\/span><\/h3>\nIt gets less fun when important wooden elements are eaten away by the woodworm. A massive infestation by the woodworm can seriously damage load-bearing wooden components. Often this only happens if the roof is leaky and water can penetrate the wood as a result. You should definitely seek advice from specialists here. Trained pest controllers can correctly assess the severity of the infestation and have special control methods to get rid of the woodworm.<\/p>\n
As a rule, a thick roof beam cannot be treated satisfactorily with the two control methods presented above. The professionals can, for example, feed gas into the roof beam so that the woodworms can be combated quickly. However, such agents are not without danger to use and therefore they should only be used by specialists to combat the woodworm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
