Woodworms aren’t very common in the United Kingdom, but an infestation can be very destructive. Woodworm identifies 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 produced 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 can return to lay eggs. In serious conditions, 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 the house or furniture, as well as the visual signs which are the exit holes located in wood and wood dust often found beneath infested wood. Woodworm infestations should be handled by experienced pest control professionals. It might also be necessary to have a structural survey carried out as woodworms are often 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 reasonably straightforward once the affected area has been correctly located. The wood can be covered with a liquid or lacquer that may stop 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.
