What is Woodworm?
It is a common misconception that woodworm is a species of worm. In fact, the term refers to several species of wood-boring beetles, specifically their larval stage. During the breeding season, adult beetles will deposit their eggs on the surface of nearby timber structures. These hatch into larvae which tunnel down and begin to feed on the wood. As they feed, the structure of the timber is weakened.
The level of damage caused depends on the species. Some species are simply a nuisance, whereas, other species can cause enough damage to lead to the building being condemned. The good news is that regardless of the species, we provide the most effective woodworm treatment, Bournemouth residents can count on to rid them of this unwanted house guest.
What Causes Woodworm?
Woodworm are drawn to damp environments, and usually, their presence indicates an underlying issue. If there are damp timbers, it’s worth checking for leaking pipes or seeing whether the damp is coming through your walls, ceiling or floors. So long as the area is kept dry, woodworm will be unlikely to establish a foothold. If they have, our woodworm treatment in Bournemouth can go beyond simply eradicating the woodworm.
