Understanding Woodworm: What it is and Why it Matters
"Woodworm" isn't just one type of pest; it's a general term for the wood-boring larvae of several beetle species, most commonly the Common Furniture Beetle. While the adult beetles are harmless, their larvae burrow through timber, creating tunnels that weaken its structural integrity. This can affect anything from antique furniture to floorboards, roof timbers, and even joists in your basement or loft. Ignoring woodworm allows the problem to spread and worsen over time, potentially leading to costly repairs or even structural failure. Our team has the skills and experience to identify the specific type of woodworm and provide a targeted, effective treatment.

Spotting the Signs of a Woodworm Infestation
Not sure if you have a woodworm problem? Knowing what to look for can help. The most common signs include:
- Small, round holes (often called "flight holes" or "exit holes") in wooden surfaces. These are where the adult beetles emerge.
- "Frass" or bore dust: This fine, powdery dust is the excretion of the woodworm larvae and often collects around the exit holes or beneath affected timber.
- Weak or crumbling timber: In severe cases, the timber may become soft and crumbly, especially around the edges of floorboards or joists.
- Tunnels within the wood: Though often hidden, these can sometimes be seen if the outer layer of wood is removed.
- Dead beetles: You might find dead adult beetles near affected timber, particularly during the spring and summer months when they emerge.
If you notice any of these signs in your property, whether it's in your loft, basement, or living areas, it's crucial to call a professional without delay.
