Physical appearance of the domestic spindle

The spindle is an xylophageal insect, as are termites and capricorns in houses.

The adult spinrette in Quebec measures between 2 and 5mm. It is identifiable by its elongated and cylindrical body, as well as by its reddish brown color. With the hairy pronotum (part of the prothorax) covering its eyes and the base of its antennae, it is almost impossible to spot it. Larvae are usually 4 to 5 mm long.

How to reproduce

The little spin is active from spring until September. It is during this period that the signs of infestation are visible. In adulthood, the small spint no longer needs to feed, it devotes its short existence to the reproduction of the species.

Development stage

The female lays 20 to 200 eggs (depending on the species).
Their incubation period is about 2 weeks. Some species of spinrs spread their larval development for up to 10 years!

As soon as it hatches, the larva, which ranges in colour from yellowish white to beaded white, is embedded in the wood to feed on it. As adults reaches, the domestic spinring makes its way outwards by drilling a hole and takes flight. The lifespan of this xylophage is estimated at four weeks.

Manners

The little adult spinring lives in groups, as this facilitates its mating. It feeds mainly on the soft parts of the woodworked, especially the old furniture. In case of infestation by lignivorous fungi (in case of excess moisture), nitrogen-rich rots will be conducive to the development of the insect.

Among his favourite woods are:

  • poplar,
  • drown him,
  • Chestnut,
  • birch
  • The fir tree
  • Aune.

Professional Extermination: Jocelyne St-André and René Gélinas

Controlling the infestation is good, finding the origin to treat it and eradicating it is better

 

How is the spinring?

An infestation of domestic tendrils usually results in worms of your furniture, floors, frames.

In case of lack of attention or in the event of a massive attack, the wood will literally fall to dust. The damage is less dramatic on the frames than on the furniture, but increases over time. Regular monitoring is required.

How do I get rid of it?

It is difficult to control domestic spindle infestations on your own. Depending on the damage already done and the stage of insect development, an extermination professional will find the right solution to your problem.

    Mr. Gagnon. Laval: "I noticed that wasps were entering my veranda, so I called Alerte Animal. Mr. René Gélinas started by securing me on the phone. He then advised me not to not block the entrance where the wasps were circulating, because I risked finding them inside my house. On his arrival he dealt with the problem and I am very satisfied. Thank you again Mr Gelinas "

    Mr Maurice, Montreal last March we returned from a week's vacation. I noticed ants in Indian files. Although I used bug spray, it kept coming back. I contacted Mr Gélinas on the recommendation of a friend. He reassured me about the nature of the insect (it was not carpenters) and got rid of it in a single intervention.

    Mme Lamarche, Montreal: I heard funny noises in the corner of my room on the second floor ... it sounded like continuous crackles like when adding milk to the Crispi rice (cereals) I called René the exterminator and he came right away. Thank you very much for your team.
