Woodworm refers to the larval stage of various wood-boring beetles that feed on timber. Common culprits include the Common Furniture Beetle, often found in floorboards and antique furniture, and the more damaging House Longhorn Beetle. These pests can cause extensive, costly damage to structural beams, floorboards, roofing timbers, and cherished furniture, impacting both the safety and value of your Bexhill property. Recognising an infestation early is crucial for preventing widespread destruction.

Key Signs of Woodworm Activity:

• Small, Round Exit Holes: Typically 1-3mm in diameter, these are the most common sign as adult beetles emerge.
• Frass (Wood Dust): Fine, powdery dust found beneath or around exit holes, resembling sawdust.
• Weakened or Damaged Timber: Edges of floorboards or joists may crumble easily.
• Tunnels in Wood: Visible tunnels (galleries) within the timber itself.
• Sighting Adult Beetles: Especially between May and October, adult beetles may be seen emerging from the wood.
