The word “woodworm” is a general one that covers the larvae of numerous species of wood-boring insects. The common furniture beetle (Anobium Punctatum), which accounts for 75% of all timber damage in the UK, is typically the bug that causes woodworm. In the wood, the beetle lays its eggs. When the larvae first appear, they feed on the interior of the wood for up to four years and create tunnels and exit holes that weaken and damage the wood in your home. If you have a woodworm problem that isn't dealt with, the resulting damage to the structure can be severe and in some cases irreversible.
Our team at RBS - Damp Proofing can employ either water-based, fogging or fumigation treatments to tackle the woodworm and safeguard your property. Get in touch with us to find out more.
