We're moving in about 3 weeks into a house we've just bought. Our surveyor said there are no signs of wood beetle infestation, but due to the age of the house (built in 1920's or 30's) he would not be surprised if there are some wood beetles present but hidden. Therefore he said we should treat it anyway, before we move in, because it's good to do it while the house is empty.
Does anyone know if this is good advice or not? I've been looking extensively online but no website mentions preventative treatment in cases where there are no signs of active infestation.
I don't know whether to book it or not, because it seems a little excessive to me. But I don't want to be worrying about the fact that we haven't done it, for years to come!
Thanks in advance!
