Woodworms are not very widespread in the UK, but an infestation can be very destructive. Woodworm is the term for 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 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 typically leave the area to breed. However, they might return to lay eggs. In severe examples, these insects can damage structural components of a building and this can have serious effects.

Signs of a woodworm infestation include cracking noises coming from wood in the home or furniture, as well as the visual indicators which are the exit holes present in wood and wood dust usually located beneath infested wood. Woodworm infestations should be treated by skilled pest control specialists. It could also be necessary to have a structural survey performed as woodworms are usually a sign 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 reasonably straightforward once the affected area has been properly located. The wood can be coated with a liquid or lacquer that may block any larvae inside from exiting and suffocate them, or for more considerable infestations fumigation is often used to ensure that the pests are effectively controlled.
