BUSINESSES
100% Discreet and Professional
Have you noticed tiny holes in wooden furniture, beams or floorboards? Found fine sawdust around skirting boards or door frames? These are often signs of active woodworm, a term used for the larvae of wood-boring beetles that feed on timber from the inside out.
MAPECO provides safe and effective woodworm control in Marbella, with discreet treatments that preserve both the appearance and strength of your wooden elements.

Early detection is essential
Look out for the following symptoms
If you suspect any of these symptoms, early treatment is essential to prevent the spread.
Small, round holes in wood (typically 1–2 mm diameter)
Hollow-sounding timber when tapped
Fine, powdery dust (frass) below furniture or beams
Presence of live insects or larvae
Weak or crumbling wood around corners or joints
Tiny exit holes or tunnels in wooden surfaces
DANGERS
A professional heat and chemical treatment is the only way to ensure total elimination.
Although it starts silently, a woodworm infestation can seriously compromise the structural integrity of homes, especially in properties with exposed wooden architecture.
Common targets include:
- Load-bearing beams
- Wooden floors and staircases
- Roof structures
- Antique or modern furniture
- Wooden doors, windows and frames
If left untreated, woodworm can weaken wood to the point of collapse—especially in humid coastal environments like Marbella.

FAQ
Local Technicians. Real Results.
Can I treat woodworm myself?
Most DIY products only treat the surface. Professional methods penetrate the wood and destroy larvae deep inside.
Is the treatment safe for people and pets?
Yes. Once dry, the treated areas are completely safe and odourless.
Do I need to leave the property?
In most cases, no. We’ll advise based on the type of product used and the location treated.
How long does the treatment last?
Typically, one treatment provides long-term protection, but we also offer maintenance plans for at-risk properties.
