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 within damp or rotten wood. When these eggs hatch, small larvae begin to eat the wood around them, which is what causes 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 usually leave the area to breed. However, they may return to lay eggs. In serious cases, these insects may damage structural elements of a building and this 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 indicators which are the exit holes present in wood and wood dust generally discovered below infested wood. Woodworm infestations should be treated by professional pest control specialists. It may also be necessary to have a structural survey completed as woodworms are generally an indicator of damp. Even if the woodworms have not caused serious damage themselves, the damp or rotten wood that they live in might cause a structural problem in the building.

Woodworm treatment is reasonably straightforward once the affected area has been properly located. The wood can be covered with a liquid or lacquer which will prevent 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.
