How To Identify A Woodworm Infestation
Small, wriggly and white in appearance, these larvae are usually unseen as they tend to stay within the timber and will usually emerge when a fully grown beetle. Determining if you have a woodworm problem can be difficult as commonly the damage that is caused will be inside the wood and the likeliness of you seeing visible damage may not be for years.
Speaking with a qualified woodworm specialist can help you determine this much quicker alongside whether these signs are from current or previous infestation which is now dormant. There are small signs that are obvious to the eye to help identify if you do in fact have a woodworm infestation, such as exit holes. Some of the others can include:
- Small round holes in woodwork
- Weak or damaged timber/flooring
- Fine bore dust around the holes in the wood
- Fresh exit holes
- Tunnels in the wood
It is possible to miss an active woodworm infestation in hidden, humid, areas such as lofts and below floorboards. Woodworm can be found in many areas or surfaces around your house or commercial property that contain wood. Some of these include:
- Furniture
- Roof timbers
- Floorboards
