We have certified technicians registered with the ROESB, application of ecological biocides without eviction in homes and issuance of the Official DDD Certificate for hospitality and communities.
Alcoy is located in a mountainous environment crossed by the ravines of the Serpis, Barxell and Molinar rivers. Its rich heritage of modernist industrial architecture and historic residential buildings feature high-quality timber roofs and trusses that are at high risk of woodworm and subterranean termites due to the humidity of the valley. Likewise, the presence of pigeons on facades and cockroaches in downspouts in the old town requires qualified specialists.
Curative Treatments against Woodworm and Termites in Wooden Beams
In properties in the Historic Center, the Viaduct and the Upper Zone of Alcoy, woodworm (Anobium punctatum) and termites degrade the structural resistance of floors and ceilings made of old pine and mobila beams.
- Pressure injection with check valves: We drill the beams to inject biocide gel into the heart of the piece, annihilating active larvae.
- Insecticide-fungicide surface impregnation: Protective spray that prevents new beetles from laying eggs on the surface of the wood.
- Termite interception baits: Placement of underground stations with chitin inhibitors that destroy the mother termite mound.

Control of Birds and Pigeons on Cornices and Industrial Buildings
Flocks of pigeons in Alcoy corrode historic cornices and roofs with their acid droppings, also transmitting parasites such as the pigeon mite. We install deterrent systems with stainless steel spikes and invisible enclosure nets.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pests in Alcoy / Alcoi
How do I know if my wooden beams have woodworm in Alcoy?

Does woodworm treatment of beams weaken the wood?
No, on the contrary. The perforations are millimeters and retention plugs are placed that allow the wood to be saturated with the curative biocide, consolidating the structure.
