What is a woodworm infestation?

Woodworm refers to the larvae of any wood-boring beetle, rather than one particular species. In Wakefield, the most common species found is the Common Furniture Beetle. A woodworm infestation can be one of the most damaging pest control problems for your property.  If not dealt with in a timely manner it can even become a serious danger to the structural integrity of your wooden furniture and even your home. 

Some signs of woodworm infestation include:

  • Small round holes in your woodwork, similar to the holes in a dart board.
  • Crumbly edges to boards and joists.
  • Adult beetles emerging from the holes or present around the house.

The life cycle of woodworm is as follows:

  1. The adult beetle lays its eggs in crevices and open joints in wood.
  2. Larval grub spends years chewing through the wood feeding on cellulose and leaving it structurally weakened in the process.
  3. Larva forms pupation chamber near the surface where it will transform into a beetle.
  4. The adult beetle bores out of wood mates and finds a wooden surface to begin the process all over again.

Damage caused by Woodworm: Common Furniture Beetle, attacks softwood and the sapwood of European hardwoods. This is the most common woodworm species and is found throughout Wakefield and causes structural weakening of timbers and tunnelling along the grain of the wood can potentially cause extensive collapse. Powder post Beetle, causes damage to wide-pored hardwood with high starch content, such as ash, elm and oak. Older timbers don’t provide a suitable environment for this species. Tunnels along the grain and can cause severe damage, often infesting block or parquet flooring. The larvae tend to tunnel towards the centre of the timber, so that damage may be more extensive than is apparent from the exterior.
