Woodworms are not 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 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 consume the wood around them, which is what leads to the holes in wood. The exit holes are made as the larvae transforms into an adult beetle which then leaves the wood. The beetles are capable of flying and will typically leave the area to breed. However, they may return to lay eggs. In extreme conditions, these insects may damage structural components of a building and this can have serious effects.

Signs of a woodworm infestation include cracking noises coming from wood in your home or furniture, as well as the visual indicators which are the exit holes found in wood and wood dust normally located below infested wood. Woodworm infestations should be managed by expert pest control professionals. It may also be necessary to have a structural survey performed 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 could cause a structural problem in the building.

Woodworm treatment is relatively straightforward once the damaged area has been correctly 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 considerable infestations fumigation is often used to ensure that the pests are successfully controlled.
