Woodworms aren’t very common in the United Kingdom, but an infestation can be very destructive. Woodworm identifies the larvae stage of a number of different species of beetle, the most common of which is the Common Furniture Beetle. These pest insects lay their eggs inside damp or rotten wood. When these eggs hatch, small larvae start to eat the wood around them, which is what leads to the holes in wood. The exit holes are created as the larvae transforms into an adult beetle which then leaves the wood. The beetles are capable of flying and will typically leave the area to breed. However, they could return to lay eggs. In severe examples, these insects may damage structural components of a building and this can have severe consequences.

Signs of a woodworm infestation include cracking noises coming from wood in the home or furniture, as well as the visual signs which are the exit holes present in wood and wood dust commonly found beneath infested wood. Woodworm infestations should be treated by qualified pest control professionals. It may 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 damaged area has been correctly located. The wood can be covered with a liquid or lacquer that will block any larvae inside from exiting and suffocate them, or for more substantial infestations fumigation is often used to ensure that the pests are successfully controlled.
