What Is Woodworm?
Woodworm is a generic term that describes the effect of wood-boring beetles. Some beetles have learned to eat wood and make it their home. Because of this, they’re often very attracted to the wooden beams in your property (not just trees in the forest), causing untold damage.
During the spring and summer, metallic flat-headed borer, bark beetles, weevils and longhorn beetles all lay their eggs in wood. When they hatch in the interior, the larvae spend the first few weeks of their life munching through the surrounding material. Eventually, they consume enough energy to mature and become adult beetles, beginning the cycle all over again.
This repeated burrowing process is what causes most woodworm Coventry. Year after year, beetle larvae create more and more holes, weakening your timber and, eventually causing it to fail.
What Are The Signs You Need Woodworm Control Coventry?
Determining whether you have a woodworm problem is usually quite simple because the wood-borer beetles leave clear signs in the wood that they call home.
You can find these holes in virtually any wood in your home that hasn’t been treated to prevent woodworm infestation. Common problem areas include your doors, furniture, supporting beams in your rooms, window ledges, timbers in your loft and floorboards. Look for small holes or tiny piles of dust in the surrounding area. Without proper control, could lead to serious structural issues.

How We Treat Woodworm Coventry
We use two main methods to treat woodworm problems in Coventry. The first is to use fumigation treatment – sometimes called fogging. Usually, this involves the use of a technique that transforms an oil-based substance into a fine mist that then helps to eliminate pests over a vast area. The other is a water-based treatment that works a bit like a weed killer. Both are powerful ways to control the problem.
