Why choose Bestrijdingsdienst.nl for effective longhorn beetle control Amsterdam

Our pest controllers are often active in Amsterdam to control longhorn beetles. We do this in the various districts of Amsterdam, such as: the Rivierenbuurt, Amsterdam-Zuid, Amsterdam-Noord, Amsterdam-West, Amsterdam-Oost, Osdorp and the Bijlmer.

If you have discovered these creatures, quickly call in a pest control expert, such as the specialists at bestrijdingsdienst.nl. The problem is often more persistent than you think and you can’t control the longhorn beetle yourself with products that you can buy online. We can use three different control techniques, which are the hot air method, a surface treatment method or
the injection method. For more information on this, check out the general longhorn beetle control page.

We have been around for over 35 years and controlling this type of pest is a daily job.
All of our exterminators have extensive knowledge about this wood-infesting insect.
We know their habits and behavior and do a comprehensive inspection to determine the extent of the problem.
In addition, each longhorn beetle infestation requires a unique approach and a customized treatment plan.

We use advanced techniques to control a longhorn beetle infestation.
Anti-oktor remedies that you can buy in stores are not effective enough and the infestation is not addressed at the cause.

But why does a longhorn beetle need to be removed?

Together with the woodworm, the longhorn beetle is one of the most dangerous and annoying pests for drywood in Amsterdam. An adult longhorn beetle can grow up to 2.5 inches long and can be recognized by its brown or black color. The antennae on top of the longhorn beetle’s head are exceptionally long – about half as long as the body itself. If you are sitting in your Amsterdam living room, but somewhere in the distance you hear soft gnawing or sawdust somewhere in the window frame or another strange place, there is a good chance that the longhorn beetle is present in your house. It is not the longhorn beetle itself that feeds, but the larvae do the most damage. They feed mainly on raw wood and lay eggs – from which larvae then hatch. The critters are small and look harmless, but if the pests are not dealt with, it can result in very serious consequences for your home.

Where does the longhorn beetle live?

The longhorn beetle is found throughout the northern hemisphere, South Africa and Australia – and therefore also in Amsterdam.
The critters are most common in coniferous forests, for example pine forests or spruce forests.
Moreover, the creature also likes to be found in protein-rich conifers.
Of course, you don’t have all these trees in a city like Amsterdam, but the longhorn beetle is often found in the raw wood that is then used to make furniture or sills and window frames.

How can you prevent the bug?

The best way to prevent a longhorn beetle infestation is to make the right choice of wood.
The longhorn beetle does not sit in hardwood with a maximum of 10% sapwood, such as pine.
These are not affected by longhorn beetle larvae.
In addition, you can impregnate wood after you have bought it.
There are various impregnations for wood, so you can assume that the longhorn beetle will not be in it for the next five years.
