Frequently Asked Questions
As it is very unlikely you will encounter the insects responsible for the infestation, it is more prudent to be on the lookout for wood damage and other traditional signs of a woodworm infection. These include frass, holes in your timber, and dead beetles. As for the insects themselves, there are a variety of beetles that can inhabit your wooden structures. You are more likely to spot them between March and September, when they venture into homes to find a mate. Woodworm larvae are much more difficult to spot as they will remain burrowed in your timber until they have reached maturity.
A woodworm infestation is very difficult to treat, so it should always be left to a professional. However, there are preventative measures you can take to deter the presence of wood-boring beetles in your home. Ensuring that your wood is dry, varnished, and high-quality is reduces the odds of infestation. If you are shopping for wooden furniture, always check for tell-tale signs of an infection before bringing it home.
While the insects themselves are harmless to humans, a parasite that is commonly found in wood-boring insects can cause the beetles to behave aggressively and bite – potentially leading to a nasty rash or infection. This is why it is important to report an infestation as soon as possible. If you have any questions, queries, or concerns, feel free to contact us directly.
