    I'm looking for a DIY treatment for woodworm, just spotted their handywork in the attic, little feckers.

    While I am a great fan of diy, the attic is too sensitive an area of untreated wood to chance woodworm, I would vote for getting a professional job done.

    Be carefull of the fumes when using it in an attic space, also that Protim is like piss, make sure you use gloves as it does spray everywhere...

    get a cheep 5 liter weed sprayer in woodies and use it with the protem its handy to get into tight corners but make sure you buy a proper gas mask not a dust mask .

    Have done this in past, the only problem with it is, you better get 10litres of protim as you will fly through it when spraying...
