Woodworms aren’t very widespread in the UK, but an infestation can be very destructive. Woodworm refers to the larvae stage of several different 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 creates 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 generally leave the area to breed. However, they may return to lay eggs. In extreme examples, these insects can damage structural elements of a building which can have severe 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 located in wood and wood dust ordinarily observed beneath infested wood. Woodworm infestations should be treated by skilled pest control specialists. It may also be necessary to have a structural survey carried out 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 damaged area has been correctly located. The wood can be covered with a liquid or lacquer that may prevent 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.
