Woodworms aren’t very widespread in the United Kingdom, but an infestation can be very destructive. Woodworm describes the larvae stage of several 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 consume the wood around them, which is what causes the holes in wood. The exit holes are formed 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 could return to lay eggs. In severe cases, these insects can damage structural components of a building which can have serious consequences.

Signs of a woodworm infestation include cracking noises coming from wood in your home or furniture, as well as the visual indications which are the exit holes present in wood and wood dust usually located beneath infested wood. Woodworm infestations should be managed by professional pest control pros. It might also be necessary to have a structural survey carried out as woodworms are generally a sign of damp. Even if the woodworms have not caused serious 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 that may block 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.
