Home

we have a few remedies to safeguard the integrity of your home/investment from wood, destroying insects like carpenter, bees, and ants, termites and more.

At WildWood Cabin Care we understand that insects and pests can pose significant threats to the structural integrity and beauty of your log cabin. From termites and carpenter ants to woodpeckers and carpenter bees, these pests can cause extensive damage if not addressed swiftly and effectively. Our comprehensive repair and prevention services are designed to protect and preserve your log cabin from such intrusions.

Repairing Insect and Pest Damage

Our team is skilled in repairing the various types of damage caused by insects and pests, ensuring that your cabin is structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing.

  • Borate Treatment We use borate for treating affected wood. Borate is a highly effective solution that penetrates deep into the wood, killing existing pests and preventing future infestations.
  • Rot Repair Addressing any rot that has occurred as a result of pest damage, including replacing compromised logs and using epoxy to stabilize minor damage.
  • Hole Plugging and Surface Repairs Filling holes made by woodpeckers, carpenter bees, and other pests, and repairing bite marks and other surface damage to restore the wood’s appearance.
  • Log Replacement Replacing severely damaged logs with new, high-quality wood that matches the original structure, ensuring a seamless repair.

Preventative Measures

Prevention is key to safeguarding your log cabin from future infestations. Our comprehensive preventative strategies include:

  • Borate Treatments application of borate solutions to prevent insect infestations. This treatment creates a protective barrier that repels pests such as termites, carpenter ants, and beetles.
  • Sealant Application Applying sealants to gaps, cracks, and holes to block entry points and prevent pests from gaining access to the interior of the logs.
  • Maintenance and Inspection Scheduled maintenance visits to inspect for early signs of pest activity, ensuring timely intervention before significant damage occurs.
  • Physical Barriers Installing physical barriers such as screens or metal mesh in potential nesting areas to deter woodpeckers and other birds.
  • Chemical Repellents Using environmentally safe insecticides and repellents in high-risk areas to further protect your cabin from infestations.
