Woodworms aren’t very common in the UK, but an infestation can be very destructive. Woodworm describes the larvae stage of several unique species of beetle, the most common of which is the Common Furniture Beetle. These pest insects lay their eggs inside of damp or rotten wood. When these eggs hatch, small larvae begin to eat the wood around them, which is what leads to 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 frequently leave the area to breed. However, they might return to lay eggs. In extreme cases, these insects may damage structural elements of a building and this can have severe consequences.

Signs of a woodworm infestation include cracking noises coming from wood in your house or furniture, as well as the visual indications which are the exit holes located in wood and wood dust typically observed beneath infested wood. Woodworm infestations should be controlled by skilled pest control specialists. It could also be necessary to have a structural survey carried out as woodworms are generally an indicator of damp. Even if the woodworms have not caused severe damage themselves, the damp or rotten wood that they live in may cause a structural problem in the building.

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