Woodworm refers to the larval stage of various wood-boring beetles, such as the Common Furniture Beetle or the more destructive House Longhorn Beetle. These tiny invaders feast on timber, leaving behind a trail of destruction that can severely impact your property's safety and value.

Recognising an Infestation:

• Tiny Exit Holes: Small, round holes (often 1-3mm) visible on wooden surfaces like floorboards, furniture, or roof timbers.
• Frass: Fine, powdery dust (like sawdust) found beneath or around the exit holes, indicating active infestation.
• Weakened Timber: Soft, crumbling wood, especially around joists, beams, or floorboards, signalling internal damage.
• Adult Beetles: Seeing live or dead beetles emerge from wood, particularly during warmer months.

Left untreated, woodworm can compromise the integrity of structural timbers, destroy antique furniture, and devalue your Peacehaven property. Early detection and professional intervention are crucial to prevent extensive, expensive repairs.
