How to Tell If You Have a Woodworm Problem?

Woodworm is the larvae of a wood-boring beetle. The larvae are laid by the beetles, and these hatch into tiny worm-like larvae. The “worms” bore into wooden objects and create tunnels as they feed and grow.

Here are some of the most common signs of a woodworm infestation.

  1. Small round holes in the wood: These are the exit holes where adult beetles emerge from the wood after they have completed their lifecycle.
  2. Fine sawdust or wood powder: If you see small piles of sawdust or debris on the surface or beside the wood, it may be indicative of a woodworm infestation.
  3. Damaged wood: Infested wood may show signs of damage, be weakened, or even be physically crumbling.
  4. Presence of beetles: In some instances, you may note the presence of adult beetles. This can be either as they emerge from the larvae stage or as they are laying their eggs.

 

If you suspect that you may have an infestation, then time is of the essence. Call us today for a quick response and a 100% guaranteed solution to your woodworm problem.

Can I treat a woodworm infestation myself, or do I need to hire a professional?
Treating a woodworm infestation yourself can be possible, but it depends on the severity of the infestation and the type of woodworm involved. If the infestation is small and caught early, you may be able to treat it yourself using DIY methods such as chemical treatments, heat treatments, or freezing. However, if the infestation is extensive, it is recommended to hire a professional to ensure proper treatment and prevent further damage to your property. It is also worth noting that different types of woodworm require different treatments. This is a compelling reason to get a woodworm infestation professionally treated.
Can woodworms cause health problems for humans?
Woodworms themselves are not known to cause health problems for humans, but the dust and debris they create can cause respiratory issues for people with allergies or asthma.

This depends on the scale of the problem. The best option is to contact Complete Pest Control. We can survey the extent of the problem and provide a quote on how much the necessary treatment will cost.
Is there anything I can do to prevent a woodworm infestation?
The best advice is to ensure that your home is well-ventilated and not overly humid. Additionally, steps such as treating wood with insecticide and frequent inspections of wood surfaces for signs of infestation can help.

The most common types of woodworm in Ireland are the Common Furniture Beetle, the House Longhorn Beetle, the Deathwatch Beetle, and the Powder Post Beetle.
