littleones 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2010 hi peeps, i know i've disappeared for some time and many of you have PMed me asking for Mr Chew's contact. if you had bother to read my blog, you would have seen me posting his contact in post #94. just an update on the furniture i bought previously from you know where. i must really say it is one of the worst mistakes in my life to deal with that person and made those purchases. now 3 of the 4 pieces of furniture i bought are infected with wood pests and everyday i would be slapping those insects flying around and feel very sad to see more and more little holes appearing on the furniture. i'm also worried those pests are going to infect my other wood furnitures from Ikea. really dunno what to do. hubby said we should just throw them away but the furniture are not even a year yet... if i could undo time, i would definitely not have bought from her. so much trouble, so much distress......... i think some of you might have bought from her earlier. are you experiencing this and how do you deal with the problem?

Would you like to consider engaging a pest company to help you out ? Can try this route first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleones 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 well, we've bought some solution from HomeFix and sprayed our infested furniture with it. not able to totally eradicate the problem. don't even know why we have to go through this in the first place. now probably too late to complain or get my money back. i'm not sure we want to hire pest busting companies either as they'd probably be expensive and hubby rather discard the furniture and buy new ones.. sadz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mookie 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 Hey I hope this helps cos it worked for me before. If you can locate the holes in the furniture where these pests come from, use a syringe n needle ( from pharmacy) to inject insecticide (i sprayed baygon into a plastic cup)into the holes. After the area dries up, fill the holes with wood putty (from hardware shop). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleones 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks for the suggestion but it is kinda hard and tedious as there are too many holes in the furniture already. Are your furniture infected by powder post beetles too? We've tried insecticide before but it didn't work, the beetles just make even more holes.. when I've time, I'll post up some pics..
