Woodworm Treatment
Survey and treat woodboring beetle activity before it weakens timber
Woodworm is the larval stage of woodboring beetles, and active infestations can quietly weaken joists, floorboards and roof timbers over years. The familiar round exit holes are only part of the picture, so we survey to establish whether the activity is live before recommending a proportionate treatment.
- Qualified technicians
- Same-day appointments
- Child & pet-safe methods
- Treats the source, not the symptom
Signs of a woodworm problem
- Round exit holes, roughly 1-2mm, in floorboards, joists and furniture
- Fine, powdery 'frass' (bore dust) beneath or around the timber
- Crumbling or weakened wood along edges and joints
- Adult beetles emerging near affected timber in spring and summer
The risks of leaving woodworm untreated
- Progressive structural weakening of joists, beams and floors
- Reduced value and saleability of an affected property
- Spread to adjoining sound timber if left untreated
How we treat woodworm
Survey to confirm whether the infestation is active and identify the species
Apply professional woodworm treatment to affected and at-risk timber
Advise on addressing the damp conditions some species depend on

Preventing woodworm coming back
- Control damp and improve ventilation in lofts and sub-floors
- Inspect second-hand timber and furniture before bringing it in
- Address leaks promptly to keep timber dry
When you will see them
Adult beetles emerge and lay eggs from roughly May to September, which is when fresh exit holes and frass are most likely to appear.
