Woodworms are not very common 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 start 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 cases, these insects can damage structural components of a building which 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 indications which are the exit holes found in wood and wood dust commonly observed below infested wood. Woodworm infestations should be controlled by qualified pest control professionals. It could 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 serious damage themselves, the damp or rotten wood that they live in could 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 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.
