Lignum Woodworm Killer is a professional-grade, ready-to-use timber treatment formulated to eradicate active infestations of wood-boring insects and prevent re-infestation. The product penetrates deep into the wood using advanced microemulsion technology, delivering insecticidal protection to all timber types while remaining safe, water-based, and non-flammable.

This specialist formulation is effective against all life stages of common wood-boring insects, including woodworm, furniture beetle, house longhorn beetle, and termites. Its fast-penetrating action allows the active ingredient to reach even the hidden galleries within timber, ensuring long-lasting protection and peace of mind for DIY users and professional contractors.

The water-based microemulsion contains zero VOCs, dries quickly, and leaves no surface coating or colour change, allowing treated timber to retain its natural appearance. Lignum Woodworm Killer is fully authorised under European Biocidal Products Regulations (BPR) and has been tested to BS EN standards for preventative and curative use.

Surface Preparation

  • Ensure timber is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, loose paint, or other contaminants.
