Woodworm Treatment

An age-old adage goes that “Looks or appearances are deceptive,” in this case, you may fall prey. Woodworms do not seem like threatening or causing severe damage to your properties, but they cause a lot of internal damage, and the little holes on your wood piece can destroy them as they eat them up and make them hollow. The structure, thus, lacks any concrete inner arrangement. They have a deficit of inner strength and end up crumbling down. Homes built of timber are prone to the woodworm attacks as these creatures can eat up the structure completely, much before your realization. Thus, your timber will collapse and rack your house.

What is Woodworm?

 Death Watch Beetle is a preferred name as these creatures are often heard to make noises in a room of absolute silence. Taken into more specific accounts, woodworm is not a species by itself. It is the collective name given to a varied range of wood-eating beetles when they are still on their larval stage. In this stage, they may resemble a worm and last up to 6 years. You should also know that the holes which you encounter in the pieces of wood are the evidence of a successful exit of a fully grown beetle.

The most frequently observed common beetles include the Common Furniture Beetle and the famous Death Watch Beetle. Although the species prefer to attack the wood of their choices, the methods of removal, more or less, remain the same! Pest control experts carry out the best possible measures to swipe these annoying creatures completely.
