What is Woodworm & Why is it a Problem for Your Bovey Tracey Home?
"Woodworm" is a general term referring to the larval stage of various wood-boring beetles, most commonly the Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum). These larvae tunnel through wooden structures, furniture, and flooring, causing structural weakness and unsightly damage. They thrive in damp, humid conditions, which is why older properties or those with underlying issues like damp or condensation can be particularly vulnerable. Without professional intervention, an active woodworm infestation can compromise the integrity of your timber, leading to significant repair costs down the line. We don't just treat the visible holes; we aim to eliminate the larvae burrowing deep within your timber.

Who We Are
Recognising the Signs of Woodworm Infestation
Catching woodworm early is key to limiting the damage. Keep an eye out for these common indicators:
- Small, round exit holes: These are often the first visible sign, usually 1-2mm in diameter, indicating adult beetles have emerged.
- Frass (wood dust): Fine, powdery dust found around the exit holes or on surfaces directly below infested timber. This is essentially the woodworm's droppings and chewed wood.
- Weakened or crumbling timber: In advanced infestations, the timber may feel soft, crumble at the edges, or even collapse.
- Tunnels within the wood: Though often hidden, extensive tunnelling can be revealed if the timber is cut or broken.
- Live beetles: You might spot small, brown beetles emerging from the timber, usually between May and October.
If you suspect any of these signs in your Bovey Tracey property, don't delay – give Moorlander Pest Control a call for expert advice.
