If you’ve heard some interesting sounds around your house, coming from basically nowhere, and you’ve started to notice holes in beams and wooden furniture - congratulations! You are most likely a victim of a woodworm attack.
In such cases it’s best to count on the help of a professional, that’s if you don’t want to invest in a serious home renovation.

Woodworm prevention tips
Woodworm Control FAQ
Q: Do woodworms bite humans?
A: Woodworms do not directly harm humans, but some parasites that have been associated with them are dangerous. Leaving these parasites untreated for a long time can cause unpleasant bites and rashes in humans.
Q: Where do woodworms come from?
A: Woodworm is typically caused by high moisture content in timber, which adult female beetles seek in the summer months to lay eggs. Afterwards, the larvae burrow, and when they emerge, they leave behind the exit holes you see commonly.
Q: How do you get rid of woodworm?
A: Woodworm is most commonly treated by spraying affected timbers. Certain woodworm beetles, such as the Deathwatch beetle, require more intensive treatments involving penetrating insecticidal gel to eliminate the infestation.
Q: How much does woodworm treatment cost?
A: The price is based on the extent and size of the infestation on your property. You'll need a professional survey to know the extent of the damage, which usually costs £45. You can expect to pay between £200 and £500 for professional woodworm removal.
Q: How do professionals treat woodworm?
A: An experienced and fully trained surveyor will inspect your property. You need a thorough woodworm survey to determine whether treatment is required. The sprayed solution into the timber is highly effective and will prevent any further infestations from occurring.
Q: Can I treat woodworm myself?
A: Common furniture beetles can be easily treated by brushing, dipping, or spraying with a Permethrin-based woodworm treatment on all timbers infested with woodworm. In addition, you should treat any nearby timbers to prevent future outbreaks.
