What Are the Signs of a Woodworm Infestation?
Woodworm isn't a single type of insect; it's the collective name for the larvae of several beetle species that bore through timber. The most common signs of an active infestation are small, round exit holes, typically 1-3mm in diameter, on wooden surfaces like floorboards, joists, furniture, or roof timbers. You might also notice fine, powdery dust, known as 'frass,' around these holes – this is essentially the woodworm's waste and a clear indicator of activity. In severe cases, you might even hear a faint 'ticking' sound coming from infested timber, especially at night. Darker timbers in damp or humid areas, basements, or lofts are often prime targets, but any untreated wood in your property can be at risk.

Who We Are
Our Professional Woodworm Treatment Process
When you call Moorlander Pest Control about a suspected woodworm issue, our process is thorough and effective. First, our expert technicians will conduct a detailed survey of your property's timber. This allows us to accurately identify the species of woodworm, assess the extent of the infestation, and pinpoint any underlying causes like dampness or poor ventilation that might be attracting the pests. Based on our findings, we'll design a bespoke treatment plan. We use professional-grade timber treatments, applying them precisely to the affected areas. These treatments penetrate the wood, eradicating the larvae and providing long-lasting protection against future infestations. We'll also provide clear advice on post-treatment care and any necessary environmental changes to help prevent recurrence.
