Woodworm Problems
A few woodworms will cause only a small amount of damage and it is only if a population is allowed to grow that problems can start to occur. The tunnels the pest bores through wood can start to weaken and damage an object, and in the long run, this can result in their destruction. This is frustrating when it comes to furnishings although the problems will be much more serious if it is floorboards or rafters that collapse. This means that early Ince in Makerfield woodworm treatment spray is essential to eradicate a growing population and nip the problem in the bud before it gets out of control.
Spotting the Signs of Woodworm Damage
Woodworm burrows deep into wooden objects, so spotting the signs is not always easy at first. However, there are a few giveaways that signal a woodworm infestation.
- Round Holes: Check the surface of wooden objects to see if there are any small, round holes. These are made by the adult beetles as they free themselves.
- Powdery Dust: Another sign that adults have freed themselves from an object is a layer of fine, powdery dust below it.
- Crumbly Edges: If the edges of furniture, floorboards, or beams crumble when touched, it is a sign of the damage caused by woodworm.
Homeowners that spot these signs should quickly call in an expert to confirm if they have a problem and arrange for the Ince in Makerfield woodworm treatment on furniture or other wood features in a home to stop the problem escalating.
