Woodworm refers to the larvae of various wood-boring beetles, not a worm at all. Species common in East Sussex include the Common Furniture Beetle, Deathwatch Beetle, House Longhorn Beetle. These pests tunnel through timber, causing significant, costly damage often unnoticed until advanced. Signs of an infestation include:

• Tiny exit holes: Small, circular holes (1-3mm) in timber surfaces.
• Frass: Fine, powdery dust found beneath or around exit holes – this is woodworm droppings.
• Weakened timber: Crumbling or softened wood, particularly around edges or corners.
• Sighting adult beetles: Small, dark beetles emerging from timber, typically in spring or summer.

Early detection prevents extensive, expensive structural repairs. If you notice any of these indicators, professional assessment is crucial.
