Looking for wood-boring beetle treatment this winter? We provide specialized heated Bora-Care applications to eliminate beetle larvae and protect your home’s structural lumber from further damage this December.
About us
We’ve built our reputation on solving wood-boring beetle problems that other companies miss or misdiagnose. Our technicians don’t just spray and leave. We conduct thorough inspections of your crawlspace and attic to identify the exact species and extent of infestation before recommending treatment.
Our heated Bora-Care treatment penetrates deep into exposed lumber to eliminate larvae where they live. This isn’t a surface-level fix. We treat all affected wood to stop the damage at its source, and we’re upfront about what needs to happen for the treatment to work, including insulation removal when necessary.
What sets us apart is our 18-month limited re-treatment warranty. If you see live activity during that period, we’ll come back and re-treat at no charge. We also include up to two free inspections within the warranty window because we know new emergence holes can appear even after successful treatment, and we want you to have peace of mind.
We’ve seen how wood-boring beetles can compromise structural integrity over time. That’s why we take a comprehensive approach that addresses the infestation and the conditions that allowed it to develop. Our team will identify moisture issues, ventilation problems, and other factors that contribute to beetle activity.
Every wood-boring beetle treatment we perform is custom-quoted based on your specific situation. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pricing because every home and every infestation is different. You’ll receive a detailed assessment and transparent pricing before any work begins.
Our customers choose us because we combine technical expertise with honest communication. We’ll tell you exactly what we find, what needs to be done, and what results you can expect from treatment.

Our Process
Our Process: Expert Wood-Boring Beetle Treatment Solutions
01
We begin with a comprehensive Peace of Mind Inspection that takes 60 to 90 minutes to complete. Our licensed professional examines every accessible area of your property, including the attic, crawlspace, interior rooms, and exterior perimeter, using detailed graphing to document all wood-boring beetle entry points, active emergence holes, damaged lumber, and conducive conditions like moisture or poor ventilation. For example, we photograph fresh exit holes in floor joists, map out affected beams in your crawlspace, and identify whether insulation removal will be necessary before treatment can penetrate the infested wood.
02
After completing the inspection, we remove all insulation from the affected areas to expose the infested lumber for direct treatment access. This critical step ensures our heated Bora-Care application can penetrate deep into every beam, joist, and structural member where wood-boring beetle larvae tunnel and feed, creating the thorough saturation needed to eliminate the infestation at its source.
November’s cooler temperatures in the Pacific Northwest mean adult beetles have finished their emergence cycle and larvae are actively feeding within the wood, making this an ideal time for treatment application that will reach the pest during its most vulnerable life stage. We coordinate insulation removal with our trusted partners, carefully document the scope of work with photos, and prepare the treatment area so the Bora-Care solution can bond directly to bare wood surfaces without any barriers blocking penetration into the galleries where larvae continue to cause structural damage.
03
We apply heated Bora-Care solution to every exposed structural member in the treatment area, ensuring the product penetrates deep into the wood where larvae continue to feed and tunnel. The heat activation allows the borate treatment to soak through the lumber’s surface and reach the galleries where wood-boring beetle larvae cause damage, creating a protective barrier that eliminates the current infestation and prevents future beetle activity for years to come.
Fall application timing proves ideal because larvae remain active in their feeding stage within the wood structure, making them vulnerable to the treatment that bonds directly to the bare lumber surfaces we’ve exposed. We document the entire application process with detailed photos, apply the solution systematically to all beams, joists, and structural members, and coordinate with our insulation partners to schedule re-installation once the treatment has fully cured and the 18-month limited re-treatment warranty period begins.

FAQs
Wood-boring beetle treatment costs typically range from several hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the scope of work required. The final price depends on factors like your home’s size, the extent of the infestation, and how much exposed lumber needs treatment.
We apply heated Bora-Care to all exposed wood in affected areas. Insulation often requires removal before treatment to ensure full coverage. During fall, cooler temperatures and increased humidity can create conditions where wood-boring beetles remain active in protected spaces like crawlspaces and attics, making thorough treatment essential.
We include an 18-month limited re-treatment warranty with every wood-boring beetle service. Contact us for a detailed inspection and custom quote based on your specific situation.
Yes, we offer an 18-month limited re-treatment warranty for our wood-boring beetle services. If you detect live activity during this period, we’ll provide free re-treatment and up to two complimentary inspections.
New emergence holes may appear after treatment. This doesn’t indicate a live infestation, as beetles can take time to emerge from previously infested wood.
The warranty requires complete preparation, including insulation removal from treated areas. It becomes void if moisture problems, poor ventilation, or high humidity persist in the treatment zone.
We can schedule your wood-boring beetle inspection within 24 to 48 hours of your call in most cases. Once we complete the inspection and you approve the treatment plan, we can often begin the Bora-Care application within a week, depending on preparation requirements like insulation removal.
November is a good time to address wood-boring beetles since the cooler fall weather makes crawlspace and attic work more comfortable for our team. We understand these pests cause concern, so we prioritize getting you on the schedule quickly while ensuring we have time to do the job right.
The treatment itself typically takes one to two days depending on your home’s size and the extent of exposed lumber that needs treatment. We’ll provide a clear timeline during your inspection so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes, we offer free quotes for wood-boring beetle treatment service.
We require a Peace of Mind Inspection, which costs $150 and takes 60 to 90 minutes to complete.
During this inspection, we conduct a full property walkthrough that includes your interior, exterior, attic, and crawlspace if accessible. We provide comprehensive graphing with entry points, damage assessment, and conducive conditions, along with annotated photos and detailed recommendations.
After the inspection, we deliver a custom quote based on the scope of treatment needed, which can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the extent of the infestation and the amount of exposed lumber requiring treatment.
As November brings cooler weather and families spend more time indoors, we understand the importance of keeping your home safe for everyone. Our wood-boring beetle treatments use heated Bora-Care applications that are applied to exposed lumber in attics and crawlspaces, which means your living areas remain untouched during the process. We recommend that children and pets stay out of the treatment area until the application has dried, which takes just a few hours. Once the treatment is complete and the area has dried, your family can resume normal activities with complete peace of mind, knowing that the product has bonded to the wood and poses no risk to your loved ones.
