Chemical agents (mamba woodworm ex)

Wood preservatives specially developed for woodworm control are among the most reliable solutions—in particular, products containing the active ingredient permethrin have proven effective. Permethrin is an insecticide from the pyrethroid group; it acts as a contact and stomach poison against insects and their larvae. This means that woodworm dies when it comes into contact with or eats the treated wood. Many of these products also offer a long-term effect that prevents reinfestation.

Mamba Woodworm Ex is an example of such a chemical control agent. It is a colorless, ready-to-use, water-based wood preservative containing permethrin. This professional woodworm killer product reliably and quickly combats woodworms, house longhorn beetles, sapwood beetles, and even termites. Thanks to a high concentration of active ingredients, it achieves a rapid knockdown effect and, at the same time, very high long-term protection. Mamba Woodworm Killer comes in a practical set (250 ml) including a syringe for injecting into the feeding holes and protective gloves. This allows you to apply the product directly into the woodworm tunnels. Alternatively, it can also be applied by brushing or spraying – the product penetrates deep into the wood and continues to work for days.

Advantages: Chemical woodworm treatments work quickly and reliably, even in cases of severe infestation. They can also be used to treat larger or permanently installed wood where home remedies would fail. In addition, many products often protect treated wood from new infestations for months or even years. Mamba Woodworm Ex, for example, meets the strict VOC criteria for indoor use (AgBB), meaning it is low in emissions and approved for indoor use. After drying (approx. 24 hours), the wood can be painted or varnished as usual without any residue.

Disadvantages: Despite its effectiveness, permethrin is a biocide that must be used with caution. The product must not come into contact with food and should not be used on surfaces that come into direct contact with the skin (e.g., kitchen boards, children's toys). Gloves (included) and good ventilation are mandatory during treatment. Make sure that children and pets do not have access to the freshly treated wood. Permethrin can cause skin irritation or allergies in sensitive individuals. It is also highly toxic to aquatic organisms, so do not allow any residue to enter the sewage system. However, if you follow these precautions and use the product according to the instructions, you will have a highly effective weapon against woodworms.

Recommendation: Chemical agents are particularly worthwhile if home remedies fail or the infestation is advanced. With products such as Mamba Woodworm Killer, even amateurs can save their wood without having to call in a professional.
