What is Woodworm?
Woodworm refers to the larval stage of wood-boring beetles, a common pest found in households, typically from early spring to mid-autumn.
Homeowners often become aware of a woodworm infestation only after it has significantly spread. While the beetles themselves are difficult to spot, they leave distinct small, round holes on timber surfaces as they tunnel through. Additionally, wood dust may accumulate around vertical structures and timber areas.
If you notice weakened or damaged flooring, it could be a result of woodworm damage. In such cases, it is advisable to consult a preservation specialist for an assessment. Contact your local branch for expert advice on woodworm treatment or to schedule a property survey.
Woodworm Treatment
Woodworm treatment is necessary only if the infestation is active, although it may be challenging to determine activity without visible signs. The woodworm larvae typically reside deep within the timber, only leaving recognisable exit holes once they mature into beetles.
To effectively eradicate a woodworm infestation, the most reliable solution involves the application of specialized chemical insecticides. Our expert preservation specialists will apply a water-based insecticidal solution to the wood's surface. This treatment targets both larvae within the timber and emerging beetles. In certain cases, if timber structures are beyond repair, they may need to be replaced with new, pre-treated wood.
