How to recognize the signs of an infested frame?

  • Galleries on the surface of the wood

  • Sawdust under the beam

  • Small visible holes

  • Noises in the frame (we can sometimes hear the noise of wood-boring insects working)

Know that if you notice one of these 4 signs on one of your beams or furniture, it is time to bring in a professional to carry out a survey as quickly as possible.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

How is the treatment carried out?

  • Logging / Brushing : stripping of the still healthy wood using a stripper or an ax then brushing in order to remove the sawdust.

  • Drilling : 2/3 of the beam in order to insert in staggered rows every 35cm of the wood injectors

  • Injection : at very high pressure in the wood injectors so that the insecticide and fungicide solution reaches the heart of the wood and deeply treats the beam

  • Double spraying : at low pressure it allows a slow impregnation on the surface of the insecticide and / or fungicide solution in order to improve the persistence and therefore avoid any rapid return of xylophagous insects

​

  • Ne pas laisser traîner de nourriture (surtout sucrée)

  • Enfermer les aliments dans des endroits et boîtes hermétiques

  • S'assurer que les poubelles soient bien fermés aussi

  • Passer régulièrement l'aspirateur dans les coins de votre maison et utiliser des nettoyants vapeur pour les endroits contenant de la nourriture.

  • Vous pouvez aussi nettoyer vos placards et les coins avec une éponge et de la javel.

Comment s'effectue le traitement contre les fourmis?

  • Observation: Identification de la zone de traitement et des traces montrant les passages des fourmis

  • Mise en place du dispositif: Mise en place d'un gel aux endroits identifiés, puis pulvérisation des murs extérieurs sur un mètre de hauteur. 

  • Les passages: 15 jours après, un autre passage est prévue pour maintenir la barrière chimique, puis 15 jours plus tard encore.

  • Il est possible de mettre en place avec Tiger un contrat annuel avec 3 passages + 1 offert pour le traitement contre les fourmis. Il est préconisé de traiter régulièrement les zones à risques pour éviter l'infestation.

Pourquoi traiter les invasions de fourmis chez soi?

Why and when should you protect your frame against wood-boring insects?

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

Wood is a natural, living material known for its longevity when properly cared for. This one undergoes various and varied attacks of various parasites (fungi, insects, larvae ...)

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

The most common but also the most harmful, in the region of Var and the Alpes Maritimes, are xylophagous insects, commonly known as Wood-eating Capricorns. They are capable of completely destroying a frame.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

You should know that new constructions are treated and have a 10-year guarantee against all xylophagous insects.

It is therefore important at the end of these 10 years to carry out regular checks and preventive treatments in order to avoid an infestation.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

Tiger recommends polling every 2 years to prevent infestation.
