Woodworm refers to the larval stage of various wood-boring beetles. These tiny grubs tunnel through timber, unseen, causing extensive internal damage before the adult beetles emerge. Common types affecting properties in Seaford include the Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum) and the more destructive House Longhorn Beetle (Hylotrupes bajulus).

Signs property may have woodworm:

• Tiny Exit Holes: Small, round holes (often 1-3mm) in timber surfaces.
• Frass (Wood Dust): Fine, powdery dust found near exit holes or on furniture, indicating active infestation.
• Weakened Timber: Soft, crumbling edges to floorboards, joists, or furniture.
• Adult Beetles: Seeing small, brown or black beetles emerging from wood, usually between May September.

Early detection prevents costly repairs. Woodworm can compromise structural timbers, making professional intervention crucial to safeguard the safety and longevity of property.
