Woodworms are not very common in the UK, but an infestation can be very destructive. Woodworm refers to the larvae stage of a number of different species of beetle, the most common 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 causes the holes in wood. The exit holes are created as the larvae transforms into an adult beetle which then leaves the wood. The beetles are capable of flying and will usually leave the area to breed. However, they may return to lay eggs. In severe cases, these insects can damage structural elements of a building and this can have serious effects.

Signs of a woodworm infestation include cracking noises coming from wood in your house or furniture, as well as the visual signs which are the exit holes located in wood and wood dust normally discovered below infested wood. Woodworm infestations should be treated by experienced pest control specialists. It could also be necessary to have a structural survey completed as woodworms are generally a sign of damp. Even if the woodworms have not caused severe damage themselves, the damp or rotten wood that they live in could cause a structural problem in the building.

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