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.

Look out for small round exit holes (roughly 1–2mm for common furniture beetle), fine powdery dust called frass around timber, crumbling or weakened wood edges, and sometimes visible adult beetles near beams in spring. Fresh, light-coloured holes usually indicate an active infestation.
It's unlikely. While some infestations may slow down naturally over years as timber dries out, the larvae can remain active inside beams for several years, continuing to weaken the wood. Professional treatment is the only reliable way to stop the damage and confirm the infestation is fully controlled.
Adult beetles emerge from infested timber, mate, and lay eggs in cracks, joints, or exposed sapwood on nearby wood. Once hatched, the larvae burrow inward and can spread the infestation to adjoining beams, floorboards, or furniture over successive breeding seasons if left untreated.
