Spotting the Signs of a Woodworm Infestation
It's easy to overlook woodworm until the damage is significant, but knowing what to look for can save your timber. Keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs:
- Small, Round Holes: These are exit holes, typically 1mm to 3mm in diameter, left by adult beetles emerging from the timber. You might find them in floorboards, furniture, roof timbers, or even decorative items.
- Fine, Powdery Dust (Frass): This is the woodworm's droppings and chewed timber, often found around the exit holes or beneath infested wood. It resembles fine sawdust.
- Weak or Damaged Timber: In advanced infestations, timber might become weak, crumbly, or spongy to the touch. This is a clear indicator of extensive internal damage.
- Tunnels (Galleries): Sometimes visible on the surface, or if you break open affected timber, you'll see intricate tunnels where the larvae have been feeding.
- Live Beetles: During the warmer months (May to September), you might spot small, dark brown beetles (the adult woodworm beetle, Anobium punctatum) emerging from the timber.
If you suspect any of these signs in your Tiverton property, it's crucial to call in the experts without delay.
