Woodworm Basics

The lifecycle of woodworm has four main stages. It starts with eggs being laid in the cracks and crevices of wooden objects, including floorboards, structural beams, and furniture in a home. A larva hatches from the egg, and this is the stage when most damage is caused. Next, the larva will eat their way through wooden objects, creating a network of small tunnels. A woodworm infestation can result in many tunnels that weaken and damaged wood to the point of collapse. The third stage of the lifecycle is the larva pupating, leading to the adult beetle's final scene. The pupa is generally formed close to the surface, allowing the beetle to chew its way out more quickly. Adults will then mate and lay eggs so the lifecycle can start over again unless an Ashton-Under-Lyne woodworm removal treatment spray is used to disrupt and kill the insects.

Woodworm Signs

There are a few tell-tale signs that show evidence of a woodworm infestation. For example, the exit holes where the adults chew their way out can become apparent, and the dust created when they do this will accumulate below an infested object. Other things to look out for are dead beetles, crumbling wood, and further damage to wooden objects. If a few of these signs become apparent, invest in an Ashton-Under-Lyne woodworm treatment spray.

Types of Woodworm

There are a few types of woodworm that can cause problems in the UK. The one most likely to be found in the common furniture beetle, which can infest structural timbers and wooden furniture. Others include powder posts, house longhorns, and deathwatch beetles. It is essential to identify which is causing problems as the treatment for woodworm varies depending on the species involved.
