Sarakia - Treatment of Diseases

Infestation of wood by wood-eating beetles is different from that caused by termites. Termites live in societies and infest wood in large numbers,

While wood-eating beetles infest it singly or in small populations, they grow slowly and damage can take a long time to appear. They often produce small amounts of sawdust that come out of the exit holes of the ends as well as sounds made by chewing the wood. produce certain imperfect forms, or the perfect persons, sometimes warn of offense

We perform an autopsy of the infested area in order to identify the species of saraki, we try to locate perfect or larvae and observe the shape and size of the exit holes and the sawdust, then if the infestation is limited in nature, we spray a liquid insecticide with residual action with holes that we open in the non-affected wood, in order to prevent the extension of the infestation, also spraying with a low-pressure sprayer can also be done on occasion. When the infestation is more extensive under certain conditions fumigation with phosphine can be done, where it is covered thoroughly with nalon the affected area and apply the gas for 4-5 days. Objects of small dimensions and of great value may also be moved to other areas and the phosphine (fireplace) applied .
