Marine pests threaten timber with deep burrowing damage
Historical report notes that certain compounds were far more toxic to aquatic creatures after 15 years of testing, including crustacea such as Limnoria and mollusks like Teredo Bankia and Martesia. Limnoria bores beneath timber surface, while the mollusks use specialized shell valves to bore, expanding attack as surface layers wash away.
Timber Borers Threaten Piling in Sea Water
The article notes that Limnoria and related borers invade timber by minute burrows and entrance holes, leaving little external sign. It says these pests can be fought without altering current timber impregnation methods or increasing hazards, with only minor cost increases.
