This is generally adequate proof to recommend that there is some kind of woodworm problem in their properties, however this should be confirmed by a skilled expert. Woodworm is the typical name for a variety of wood-boring pests; there are four species, common furniture beetle, wood boring weevil, death watch beetle and longhorn beetle.

How to identify Woodworm in your property 

Damage by beetles is recognisable by a peppering of tiny holes in the surface area of the wood. These holes are emergence holes, meaning that the adult beetle has emerged from and left the wood after investing its time tunnelling through it as a grub. It assaults timber leaving 1-2mm exit holes.

The beetle lays its eggs on the timber and the grubs do the damage. With ‘active’ woodworm you will discover a scattering of tiny dust piles on the timber.

 

• Small holes in timber
