What is a woodworm and how does woodworm infestation occurs?

Woodworm refers to the larvae of any wood-boring beetle, rather than one particular species. The most common species found is the Common Furniture Beetle .They all invade your home and consume wood and then leave when they have reached maturity to find a partner, mate, and then lay eggs onto timber to start the whole process off again. Wood can be infected with eggs or larvae without it being noticeable, and you may not discover a woodworm infestation for several years.

Woodworm usually enters your property by flying in, or from other timber that has already been infested. Once Woodworm has gained access it can cause structural damage and irreversible loss. They all invade your home and consume wood and then leave when they have reached maturity to find a partner, mate, and then lay eggs onto timber to start the whole process off again that is woodworm treatments company Bishops Auckland.

How do you know if you have a woodworm infestation and need woodworm treatment?

These are some indications by which you can understand if a woodworm infestation has occurred or not:

Small round holes in your woodwork, similar to the holes in a dart board. Fine, powdery dust around these holes (this is known as frass). Crumbly edges to boards .Adult beetles emerging from the holes or present around the house. Even if you can’t see any holes, you might also find frass escaping from the back or underside of old furniture. Again this suggests active woodworm.
