WOODWORM Wood boring insects (commonly called woodworm) can fly into any property, seeking wood on which to lay their eggs. Woodworm infestations are widespread in the United Kingdom, and untreated softwoods are particularly vulnerable to attack in any property. Infestations most commonly occur in roof timbers, floor joists, boarding and internal joinery timbers. Types of beetle infestation range from the more common infestations by those of the common furniture beetle (Anobium Punctatum) through to the usually more serious infestations by the house longhorn (Hylotrupes Bajulus) and death watch beetle (Xestobium Rufuvillosum).

House longhorn and death watch beetle infestations usually require more rigorous remedial treatment since they can potentially cause significant structural damage. All types of woodworm infestation if left untreated, however, have potential for expensive structural damage and early attention to the problem is essential. We offer a full range of specifications and treatments, ranging from basic insecticidal treatments up to full structural repairs.
