If you are looking for an anti-woodworm treatment with ecological and innovative solutions, you are in the right place! Gallura Disinfestazioni, with its long-term experience in woodworm and insect disinfestation, offers an innovative, rapid and proven effective parasite control system, which uses eco-sustainable methodologies and products.

Woodworm disinfestation methods

Gallura Disinfestazioni’s preference in disinfestation methods are those that minimize the use of harmful chemical agents, with the use of ecological and biodegradable products. Ecological choices are very important especially when it comes to examining sensitive environments such as homes, offices or structures with pets or children.

Gallura Disinfestazioni uses thermal treatment, innovative and absolutely ecological, which allows to disinfest any type of environment using only hot air produced thanks to the use of sophisticated thermoconvectors.

What does heat treatment consist of?

The hot air disinfestation system used does not involve the use of harmful gases or other toxic products and leaves no odours or residues on surfaces: these characteristics make it extremely versatile and suitable for any type of environment, from private and domestic to public and work environments, from offices to accommodation facilities, from hospitals to production facilities such as bakeries, pasta factories and pastry shops, where hygiene and safety are fundamental requirements.

Thanks to a heat treatment capable of distributing heat in a capillary manner, the sophisticated latest-generation convectors we use bring the temperature of the areas subjected to treatment between 50°C and 60°C, maintaining it constant for the time necessary to achieve total mortality of the pests through the denaturation of their proteins.

We do not use traditional methods of fighting woodworms based on brush strokes and injections. This is because the old and obsolete treatments, in addition to having a high environmental impact, over time have proven ineffective and not decisive. The action they perform is superficial and incomplete: the insects present deep in the wood are not eliminated and with the arrival of spring they start a new life cycle, returning to feed and cause damage to furniture, beams and parquet.

The validity of the methods of fighting and disinfesting woodworms that we use is certified by numerous research and scientific studies conducted by prestigious institutes and universities. Our heat treatment is effective and decisive, regardless of the life stage of the parasite, working perfectly on eggs, larvae, pupae and adults and can be used even before the emergence holes are visible.

The anti-woodworm heat treatment can be applied to wooden structures of any type and size:

• wooden furniture
• wooden beams
• wooden floors
• wooden roofs and attics
• wooden floors

Its duration varies from 24 to 48 hours and is established by our experts after a careful evaluation of the nature of the parasites, the types of wood and the severity of the infestation. In addition to the certainty of the complete mortality of the infestant, there is also the advantage of the availability of the treated areas in a very short time, without having to wait for the long quarantine times of the past. 

The Gallura Disinfestazioni treatment based on the use of heat is carried out by expert and competent personnel, it can be carried out both at your facility and at our headquarters where we have a special Heat Chamber, ideal for permanently resolving woodworm infestations on your furniture.
