We are proud to introduce a revolutionary step forward in sustainable pest control, the use of beneficial insects (parasitic wasps) to combat woodworm infestations. This cutting-edge biological control offers a powerful, non-toxic alternative to traditional chemical treatments, and it’s already proving highly effective.
Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and disruptive treatments. Our new service harnesses the power of Spathius exarator, a parasitic wasp from the Braconidae family that specifically targets the larvae of Anobium punctatum, the common furniture beetle. This beneficial insect is naturally found in the UK and has evolved to locate and neutralise wood-boring beetle larvae with remarkable precision.
Scientific research shows that introducing these parasitic wasps can reduce woodworm infestations by up to 90%, making this a game-changing solution for property owners, conservationists, and heritage site managers alike.
Woodworm can wreak havoc on antique furniture, floorboards, and structural timber, especially in historic buildings and homes. But until now, treatment often involved invasive procedures and chemical exposure.
Our biological control method is:
Eco-friendly & chemical-free
Safe for people and pets
Ideal for sensitive environments like churches, museums, and heritage properties
Minimally disruptive, requiring no closures or relocations
Sustainable, thanks to a self-sustaining population of wasps
Despite their fierce-sounding name, parasitic wasps are tiny (2–3mm) and harmless to humans. They do their work quietly and effectively, often unnoticed, as they naturally control woodworm populations over time.
Religious buildings and heritage properties: Where authenticity and preservation are paramount
Antique owners and museums: Where chemical damage is not an option
Forestry and timber businesses: Looking for a green solution to protect valuable materials
This natural solution fits perfectly within Vergo’s ongoing commitment to environmentally responsible pest management. We’re not just removing pests, we’re working with nature to restore balance.
Curious about how parasitic wasps could help you fight woodworm without chemicals? Contact Vergo today to learn more about this pioneering treatment.
