Which product should I choose between HM1, Wood Bliss® and Wood Bliss® High-C?
The question to ask is: "Is it important to preserve the colour of the wood?
If yes, then opt for HM16. HM16 is a preventive and curative solution limited to woodworm. Woodworm are wood-boring insects that make flight holes +/- 1mm in diameter. They are often found in furniture and wooden floors. HM16 will not change the colour of the wood.
If no, then opt for Wood Bliss. Wood Bliss® has a full spectrum of action.
In the event of recurrence or action against the capricorn beetle, finish by injecting Wood Bliss® High-C into the wood. In the case of merula, you will finish the treatment with Wood Bliss® High-C by staining. Including new joists which will be placed in masonry. Particular care should be taken with the end timbers: the cuts.

Frequently asked questions
Bonjour, la pénétration des produits dans le bois ne dépasse jamais plus d'un millimètre. C'est la raison pour laquelle, il est aussi plus important d'injecter le HM1 au travers des trous d'envols et là où vous observez de la sciure de bois. Vous travailler à l'aveugle et il faudra probablement réinjecter dans certains trous. C'est cette tâche qui vous apportera satisfaction. Ces conseils sont repris dans la fiche technique. 08/07/2023 Frédéric Dekeuleneer.
No, HM16 must be able to be absorbed and penetrate the wood. If there is paint, it will be impossible to absorb. You should also be aware that when a product is applied to wood, the wood absorbs it to a maximum depth of 1mm! No more than that. That's why it's more important to inject HM16 into the wood. You can inject as much as you like through the existing flight holes. The HM16 should arrive where the larvae are. FDK.
