Woodworm Treatment in Wexford
County Wexford's long coastline and Slaney-river setting make it the most moisture-influenced county in Leinster. From the Norse foundations of Wexford Town to the Norman fabric of Enniscorthy and the strawberry-farm hinterland of Bunclody, every quote here includes a moisture-meter pass — coastal damp drives both higher infestation risk and a markedly higher incidence of Wood Boring Weevil. Wexford residential work splits between three streams.
The first is the medieval and Georgian core of Wexford Town, where Deathwatch Beetle in oak and substantial coastal damp exposure are both real considerations. The second is the Victorian and Edwardian streetscapes of Enniscorthy, Gorey, New Ross and Bunclody, where Common Furniture Beetle dominates. The third is the holiday-home and one-off rural coastal stock — Curracloe, Rosslare, Kilmore Quay, Carne — where Wood Boring Weevil and damp-driven re-infestation are by far the most common findings.

Learn moreOur Wexford commercial work covers the heritage hotels and pubs of Wexford Town's South Main Street and Selskar Street, the Talbot and other major hotels, the Wexford Festival Opera House environs, the Irish National Heritage Park, Johnstown Castle estate, several large country-house hotels (Marlfield, Ferrycarrig), the major coastal hospitality properties at Kelly's Hotel in Rosslare and the Hotel Saltees area, the parish churches across every parish, schools, fishing-industry properties at Kilmore Quay and Carne, and a strong rota of country pubs across the county. Wexford is the county where coastal damp drives our specifications more than anywhere else in Leinster. Every quote here includes moisture assessment, and many specifications combine boron treatment with damp-proofing or ventilation improvements.
For the medieval-fabric properties in Wexford Town and Enniscorthy we use conservation-grade methods. For the holiday-home and coastal rural stock the protocol is straightforward boron treatment paired with whatever moisture work is required — both quoted separately so the cost breakdown is transparent.
