Understanding Woodworm: What Are You Up Against?
"Woodworm" is a general term for the larvae of several beetle species that bore into wood, including the common furniture beetle, deathwatch beetle, and powderpost beetle. These grubs feed on timber for years before emerging as adult beetles, leaving behind the tell-tale exit holes you often spot. From floorboards and roof timbers to antique furniture and joists, any untreated timber in your property can be vulnerable. The damage isn't just cosmetic; a severe infestation can compromise the structural soundness of your home or business, leading to expensive and extensive repairs if not dealt with promptly and professionally.

How to Spot the Signs of a Woodworm Infestation in Your Property
It's crucial to identify a woodworm problem early. Keep an eye out for these key indicators:
- Exit Holes: Small, round holes (typically 1-3mm in diameter) on the surface of timber are the most common sign. These are made when the adult beetle emerges.
- Frass (Wood Dust): Fine, powdery dust, often resembling sawdust, found around or below the exit holes. This is woodworm droppings and waste, indicating active boring.
- Weakened or Damaged Timber: If you notice timber that feels soft, crumbly, or has tunnels visible on the surface, it could be suffering from an infestation.
- Live Beetles: During late spring and summer, you might see the adult beetles themselves emerging from the wood, especially around windows.
- Tunnels (Galleries): Inside the timber, you may see a network of tunnels or 'galleries' where the larvae have been feeding.
If you suspect any of these signs in your Wellington property, don't delay – professional assessment is vital.
