Woodworms aren’t very widespread 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 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 usually leave the area to breed. However, they could return to lay eggs. In severe examples, these insects can 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 indications which are the exit holes located in wood and wood dust usually located beneath infested wood. Woodworm infestations should be controlled by professional pest control pros. It could also be necessary to have a structural survey performed as woodworms are generally an indicator of damp. Even if the woodworms have not caused severe damage themselves, the damp or rotten wood that they live in could cause a structural problem in the building.

Woodworm treatment is fairly straightforward once the damaged area has been properly located. The wood can be coated with a liquid or lacquer which will prevent any larvae inside from exiting and suffocate them, or for more extensive infestations fumigation is often used to ensure that the pests are effectively controlled.
