What is woodworm?

Woodworm is the general name given to insects that attack timbers. There are a variety of different woodworm, each preferring a different type and condition of wood and each able to cause varying levels of damage. 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.

Wood can be infected with eggs or larvae without it being noticeable, and you may not discover a woodworm infestation for several years. 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 Chelmsford.

There are various other indications as to whether the woodworm infestation is ongoing or not.  These include:

• One of the most obvious signs of woodworm is of course the tiny holes in the wood.  

• Dampness – Woodworm need to get their water from the wood itself so if it is bone dry then it may be that the infestation will have now disappeared, whereas if it is damp at all then it is very probable that it is still an active infestation.

• Wood Boring Beetles – Something that not everyone knows is that “woodworm” is actually just the collective name for wood boring beetles while they are in their larval stage. If you find little wood boring beetles on your property, therefore that is a definite indication of an active infestation.
• Bore Dust – This is direct evidence of a current infestation. When the woodworm burrows through the wood it creates frass, little bits of dust from the wood.  If you find little piles of it beneath the wood or around any holes in the wood then you can be sure that it is an active infestation.
