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 damage and devaluation, not all require chemical treatment. For example, an active infestation by the Common Furniture Beetle, Anobium punctatum, or the House Longhorn, Hylotrupes bajulus would require 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 is therefore important.

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