Wood is in many cases infested with wood boring insects. Insects are mostly found in soft wood but they can also attack the core of timber. Many of the wood boring insects are considered quarantine pests. This isn’t only relevant for cut wood, transport of logs or manufactured timber but equally for wooden package materials (e.g. pallets, dunnage, . . .).

Various countries have very strict requirements for transport of wood and wooden package materials. In many cases, fumigation of the wood is a necessity or a phytosanitary requirement. Only fumigation is an accepted method since insecticide treatments will not affect insects inside the wood.

• Quarantine treatment of wood logs, wooden package materials and all kinds of raw wood.
• Fumigation of timber
• Fumigation and treatment of wooden constructions and antiques
• Fumigation according ISPM15 – An International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures issued by the International Plant Protection Convention. ISPM15 aims at an international harmonization for the treatment of transported wood.
• Wood protection with insecticides
