Digest 307 Identifying damage by wood-boring insects
Publication Year
1992
Document Status
Current
Abstract
A number of insects are able to use wood as a food source and some of these may cause serious damage to building timbers in the UK. This Digest introduces wood-boring insects and illustrates the types of damage which are serious enough to require remedial treatment, distinguishing them from other, less significant types of damage. Digest 327 gives recommendations on appropriate remedial treatments.
