Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if woodworm is active?

Fresh-looking flight holes, fine bore dust and signs of live beetles can indicate activity, but these signs need to be assessed in context. Old holes may remain after an infestation has ended.

Does woodworm always require treatment?

No. Treatment depends on the beetle species, whether the infestation is active, the timber’s condition and the level of risk. An inspection can help establish the appropriate response.

Can woodworm damage structural timber?

Some infestations can weaken timber over time, particularly where damage is extensive. A timber assessment can determine whether repairs or other remedial work are needed.
