What is Woodworm?

Woodworm refers to a variety of wood-boring insects that lay their eggs in timber, causing larvae to tunnel through the wood as they develop. Over time, this can lead to structural weakness, which can be costly to repair if left untreated. Common signs of woodworm infestation include small round holes in the wood, powdery dust, and weakened timber.

Frequently Asked Questions

Woodworm Questions Answered

What are the signs of woodworm?
Small round exit holes about 1mm to 2mm across in timber, fine powdery dust called frass below them, weak or crumbling floorboards, and in summer you may see the adult beetles themselves.
How do I know if woodworm is still active?
Fresh holes have clean, light-coloured edges and new frass looks like fresh sawdust. Old holes darken with age. Our surveyor can tell you whether an infestation is live or historic before you spend anything on treatment.
Do old holes mean I need treatment?
Not always. Plenty of properties have old flight holes from an infestation that died out years ago. Treating dead woodworm is wasted money, which is why we confirm activity first.
How serious is woodworm?
Left untreated, wood-boring larvae tunnel through structural timber for years, and heavy infestations weaken floors, joists and roof timbers. Caught early it is straightforward to deal with.
How do you treat woodworm?
We identify the species, confirm the infestation is active, then treat the affected timber with insecticidal fluids that kill the larvae and protect the wood against re-infestation. Badly weakened timber is replaced.
What type of woodworm is most common here?
The common furniture beetle causes most infestations we see across the North Coast. Other species like deathwatch beetle prefer old hardwoods and need a different approach, so correct identification matters.
Can woodworm spread to my furniture?
It can travel both ways, since beetles fly and lay eggs on any bare timber. If we find an active infestation we advise checking nearby furniture, and we can treat affected pieces.
What time of year is best for woodworm treatment?
Treatment works at any time of year. Adult beetles emerge between roughly May and September, which is when infestations are usually spotted, but there is no need to wait for a particular season.
How long does woodworm treatment last?
Treated timber is protected long term, and our specialist treatments carry 10 year guarantees (terms and conditions apply).
Does woodworm mean my house has a damp problem?
Often, yes. Wood-boring beetles prefer timber with a raised moisture content, so an infestation can point to damp or ventilation issues. We check for this during the survey so both problems get dealt with together.
