Dealing with a Woodworm Infestation

Woodworm actually refers to the larvae of a range of wood-boring beetles, rather than one specific pest. In the UK, the common furniture beetle is the most prevalent, and in each case, identifying the beetle type is important in getting to the right solution. Unfortunately, when you see the signs of an infestation, the larvae will have already been feeding on the wood for a number of years. That’s why all our treatments are designed to be appropriate to the level of infestation, type of beetle and the wood in your home.

How do I know if I have woodworm in my home?

Look for small, round exit holes in wooden surfaces, fine dust (called ‘frass’ which is the beetle’s droppings), crumbling wood, or weak floorboards. These are common signs of a woodworm infestation near you. You might also find live or dead beetles around the wood.

What should I do if I think I have a woodworm infestation?

Contact Xpress for our woodworm pest control service in Balcombe. The sooner you address the issue, the less damage the woodworm will cause. Our team near you can provide a thorough inspection and effective treatment.

Can woodworm spread to other areas of my property?

In the right conditions, woodworm can spread, especially if the area contains untreated or damp wood. The adults will fly and lay eggs on the wood’s surface. Once hatched, the beetle’s larvae burrow into the wood, eating their way through it. It’s important to act quickly if you spot any signs as it’s likely the larvae have been there for some time already.

How can I prevent woodworm from coming back?

Ensure proper ventilation in your home, reduce moisture levels to prevent damp or rotting wood, and consider using wood treatments or finishes to protect exposed wood.

Will I need to replace damaged wood?

Woodworm larvae eat their way through wood and as the adults leave, they too create exit holes. A severe infestation might cause the wood to be seriously damaged. If the wood is structurally weak or severely damaged, you may need to replace it.

How long does woodworm treatment take?

The duration depends on the size and severity of the infestation. Most treatments can be completed within a few hours to a day, but larger infestations may take longer.

Usually, you can stay in your home during treatment. However, it’s best to avoid the treated areas until the treatment has dried. The Xpress pest controller will advise you on the best course of action when the treatment is being carried out.
