Woodworm is the generic term for all wood boring insects and although these insects are a dangerous pest, which must be eradicated to protect your home from woodworm damage and devaluation, not all woodworm infestations require chemical treatment. For example, an active infestation by the Common Furniture Beetle, Anobium punctatum, or the House Longhorn, Hylotrupes bajulus would require woodworm treatment with an insecticide, whereas infestation by the Wood Boring Weevils, Pentarthrum huttoni and Euophryum confine or the Waney Edge Borer, Ernobius mollis would not. Accurate identification of woodworm infestations in London and the subsequent treatment of woodworm is therefore important.

N.B. Please note that we are only able to inspect accessible timbers for woodworm infestations and cannot lift carpets or laminate flooring.
