Small exit holes, fine bore dust, weak boards or marks in roof wood can point to wood-boring beetles, but they do not always mean the pest is still active. Old holes may stay in place long after an issue ends, while new dust can be a sign of live work. The species, state of the wood and spread of damage can also change the best response. An expert check helps Bluebell owners know what is wrong before they agree to work. The team looks at all parts it can reach, checks if larvae may be present and notes the timber at risk. This can avoid work on old marks, help find hidden activity and make sure the chosen method fits the wood and the scale of the issue.

Each visit starts with a check of the signs and all timber that can be reached. OnGuard aims to name the beetle, decide if the issue is live and set out the area that needs care. If larvae may sit deep in roof wood, beams or joists, a high-pressure system can help a water-based product pass below the surface. A careful surface treatment may suit a small area or a fine wood item. The team tells the client what method it advises, which parts need work and why the plan fits the findings. Trained staff use modern tools and can also give tips on air flow, damp and basic timber care to help cut the risk of new activity. The aim is sound work with a clear reason at each stage.

Very professional and efficient.

Had the guys out to deal with silver fish in my mother’s house. The man who came was very friendly and the office even rang ahead to let us know when he was on his way which I thought was a very professional touch. Very happy with the service, thank you :-)

With my three year old little boy in the house, I was horrified to find we had a large number of uninvited furry guests living under the floorboards. Onguard Woodworm Services were phenomenonally fast to respond (same day) and from the initial consultation until the rat infestation was finally cleared, they co-ordinated all functions required to resolve the issue (such as arranging drainage surveys etc). They were not only there for the Woodworm Services, they project managed all other functions as well, leaving me to get on with my work. The service was outstanding and was extremely competitive (I would have honestly paid more than I was charged as you cannot put a price on your family's health). I'd happily recommend Onguard Woodworm Services to anyone that needs expert guidance or a solution to a pest problem.

OnGuard Woodworm Services has more than 20 years of work in woodworm checks, treatment and timber care. Its IPCA-certified team helps home owners, landlords and property firms in Bluebell with clear advice and a plan based on the signs found. The staff use modern tools and professional products, and treat only the wood shown to need care. Clients can talk through the signs by phone, and the firm may give a free estimate before a visit is booked. At each stage, the team keeps the facts and next steps clear.

Woodworm can affect many parts of a site, so a full check should look past the first hole in view. OnGuard checks and treats attic wood, roof frames, floor joists, beams, stairs, doors, window frames and other bare timber. Its team knows the species found in Ireland, such as Common Furniture Beetle, Deathwatch Beetle, House Longhorn Beetle and Powderpost Beetle. The right name matters, since the pest, signs of live work, depth of the wood and place of the damage all shape the plan. High-pressure tools can help a product reach larvae deep in load-bearing wood. A surface method may fit a light case, a small part or a fine timber item. The service is for home owners, landlords, agents, site managers, builders, surveyors, firms and farm clients. The advice in each case is based on what the check shows. Before work starts, the team sets out the access needs, areas to treat and form of care. It also gives useful steps on damp, air flow and upkeep, which can help clients keep treated timber in good order and spot signs that need a new check.
