Woodworms are not very widespread in the United Kingdom, but an infestation can be very destructive. Woodworm describes the larvae stage of a number of different species of beetle, the most typical of which is the Common Furniture Beetle. These pest insects lay their eggs inside damp or rotten wood. When these eggs hatch, small larvae begin to eat the wood around them, which is what creates the holes in wood. The exit holes are produced as the larvae transforms into an adult beetle which then leaves the wood. The beetles are capable of flying and will in general leave the area to breed. However, they may return to lay eggs. In extreme examples, these insects can damage structural components of a building and this can have severe consequences.

Signs of a woodworm infestation include cracking noises coming from wood in the house or furniture, as well as the visual indicators which are the exit holes present in wood and wood dust commonly observed underneath infested wood. Woodworm infestations should be managed by skilled pest control pros. It could also be necessary to have a structural survey completed as woodworms are usually a sign of damp. Even if the woodworms have not caused serious damage themselves, the damp or rotten wood that they live in might cause a structural problem in the building.

Woodworm treatment is fairly straightforward once the affected area has been properly located. The wood can be covered with a liquid or lacquer that will stop any larvae inside from exiting and suffocate them, or for more substantial infestations fumigation is often used to ensure that the pests are successfully controlled.
