How to Get Rid of Woodworm
What is Woodworm?
Woodworm is the term used for a number of wood boring beetles, but the main cause of damage to wood in the UK and Europe is made by the Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum).
It is the larval stage of the Common Furniture Beetle that causes the damage to wooden furniture and structural timbers in buildings, such as roof and floor joists or decorative beams.
The main sign that wood has been affected by woodworm is the exit holes that are created as the woodworm leaves the wood as an adult woodworm beetle. These exit holes are about 2mm in diameter and may also be accompanied by 'frass', the dust created by the exiting beetle.
How to kill and get rid of Woodworm and protect your affected wood from further attack?
Our Woodworm Pest Control Products will help protect the affected wood and stop the woodworm from re-infesting the wood or other wooden items.
