What is Woodworm?

Woodworm is the collective name for a number of species of Woodboring Insects that attack wood. Common woodworm beetle

include the Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum) and the Death Watch Beetle (Xestobium rufovillosum). The term “woodworm” refers to the larval or “worm” stage of the insects’ life when they bore and eat wood.

Woodworm can attack wood within the structure of a building and even the wood within your home furnishings. If left untreated, woodworm can seriously weaken timber leading to the eventual failure of the structure of a building.

How To Identify Woodworm

Woodworm beetles and woodboring insects use wood as a food source or as a home and they often leave signs of their presence such as:

• holes or tunnels within the timber.
• bore dust caused by emerging adult beetles from the timber.
• weak and damaged flooring – in extreme cases a foot or chair leg going through the floor can indicate a more serious problem.

Woodworm Season

Did you know that woodworm are seasonal pests? From May to October each year, these pests can be seen exiting from flooring and roof timbers in properties all across the UK.
