Professional Heywood Woodworm Treatment
Woodworm is the larvae of beetles that eat into the wood. They consume the wood and weaken it during the larvae stage. Though these woodworms leave the wood after they mature into adults, it only leads to further erosion of the wood since they leave gaping holes as they worm their way out.
It can sometimes spend years burrowing into the wood and making it rotten before anyone even recognises its presence, leave alone making provisions for the treatment for woodworm removal. But it can nevertheless be recognised if you keep a strong lookout. Woodworm beetles are very prolific and can be found almost everywhere in the UK.
Basic facts about woodworm
-> There are many different types of woodworm beetles. The most common types of woodworm beetles found in the UK are the Death Watch Beetle, Common Furniture Beetle, House Longhorn Beetle and Powder Post Beetle.
-> Woodworm larvae typically eat into the wood for sustenance and can hollow down the wood over a period of time. They can infest all kinds of wooden objects such as furniture, timber, wooden floorboards and wooden beams. The more wood you have around the house, the more danger there is of a woodworm infestation.
-> Woodworm beetles breed on a seasonal basis, usually from May to October.
-> The larvae spend around three to four years of their lives, burrowed in the wood. Once they grow into adults, they eat their way out of the wood.
How to recognise woodworm infestation
-> Check the wood in your home carefully and note if there are small round holes in it. If yes, you have woodworm!
-> Fine dust around these holes showing that the woodworm had eaten its way out.
