What is wood worm?
The term woodworm refers to the pupa which bores through the wood. The active life cycle of the woodworm species can vary from 1 year to 14 years In the UK, the most common are the Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum), Deathwatch Beetle (Xestobium rufuvillosum), House Longhorn Beetle (Hylotrupes bajulus) and Powderpost Beetle (Lyctus brunneus). Infestations are far more likely in areas with high humidity, such as:
- Floorboards.
- Furniture.
- Joists/beams.
- Roof timbers.
- Painted wooden surfaces.
- Joinery and structural timbers.
- Decorative woodwork.
- Crawl spaces.
- And more.
