What is Woodworm?

Woodworm, also known as wood-boring grubs, can cause extensive damage to timber structures within your home. These tiny pests burrow into wood, leaving small holes and intricate tunnels behind. Their eggs are laid on sapwood, the softer part of the wood. Once hatched, the larvae will begin burrowing deep into the beam’s core. Common furniture beetle larvae can stay in the beams for up to five years, while deathwatch larvae can remain for up to ten years.

Common furniture beetles create holes with a diameter of 2mm, while deathwatch beetles create holes up to 4mm. The latter are declining as they prefer oak, which is now rarely used in the building industry due to cost. Additionally, old beams protected with varnish or wood preservatives prevent deathwatch beetle eggs from penetrating the surface, contributing to their population decline.

Please note that, deathwatch beetle removal can be complex and costly to treat due to the nature of the grub inside. We may need to carry out a few treatments using gel and spray treatments to fully control deathwatch beetles in your beams.

Woodworm Treatments

FAQs

A telltale sign of woodworm is the presence of holes in untreated wood caused by the boring activity. However, these holes might be from a previous infestation and not necessarily indicate a current one. For an active infestation, you may find piles of frass, i.e. chewed and discarded wood dust excreted by the adult beetles. Additionally, you can monitor the holes to see if new ones appear, indicating ongoing activity.

Proper ventilation and drying of the wood might cause the woodworm to go away, but this approach is risky. Visible woodworm damage cannot be repaired, and noticing signs typically indicates an existing infestation. If left untreated, this can compromise the structural integrity of your home or commercial property. 

Woodworm can quickly spread in properties with a lot of untreated wood. When the worms mature into beetles, they leave the wood where they were born and find new wood to infest, starting a new cycle of infestation.
