Woodworm treatment and associated safety risks
Discussion
Hey folks,
we have just got a new house and have a fair bit of work to do, it is approx 170 years old and shows signs of a fair bit of woodworm.
I am hoping to get someone out this week to have a look at it (stirling area if anyone has any contacts).
My worry is that my wife is 12 weeks pregnant and we will soon be living in the house, are there any safer treatments that can be used i hear that some are pretty deadly. Any general feedback from anyone that has treated woodworm would be helpful.
cheers.

thanks folks.
just to update we used boron and decided to vacate for 48 hours.
we used wise property care who were very good and covered a lot of things with polythene runners, elec junc boxes with plastc etc etc.
It took about 10 hours for 2 x 9m lofts and cost about £900 inc vat and has a "guarantee" .
we'll see what happens.......
