Life Stages of Woodworm

The four life processes of woodworm are egg, larva, cocoon, adult beetle. Usually, adult beetles will rest their eggs in wooden furniture or the cracks of wooden beams. Floorboards are also perfect places for eggs to be laid, as they are shielded and protected.

When the young hatch, their instinct is to burrow into the timber, making them almost invisible to the human eye. The larva is a highly ravenous creature and feeds solely on wood. Young will inhabit the wood for at least a few years and eat their fill before they begin to change.

Within this timeframe, they will dramatically increase in size and will begin to move towards the surface. Eventually, they will transform into adult beetles and emerge from the timber.

Interesting Facts About Woodworm

Different insects are likely to attack different types of timber. They prefer other woods, and this will significantly help you in the identification and location process of the concerned species. Many kinds of woodworm are fond of softer woods such as pine, spruce and cedar. At the same time, other species prefer more complex varieties such as oak, ash and mahogany. Nevertheless, you should identify the species causing the infestation from the tell-tale signs they leave behind. If you are suffering from an infestation, then professional Prescot woodworm treatment must be administered immediately.

Signs of Woodworm

Woodworm exit holes can be found in holes within wood or timber. These holes will be oval and have serrated edges. The spots may initially appear clean and fresh. Tunnels should also be apparent in the wood; these are more commonly known as galleries. However, these galleries are hard to see because they are buried deep within the wood. Dust should also be evident from surfacing beetles that have been living within the timber.

Weak and damaged floorboards often show signs of woodworm infestation. Sometimes a floorboard maybe that unstable that it may give way. If you are suffering from these problems, then Prescot woodworm treatment spray or treatment for woodworm removal may be necessary.

Crumbling wood may point to an immediate problem within a household, which may also indicate unsteady joists or floorboards.
