Do you have woodworm damaging the timbers in your home/property in the North East of England?
Woodworm is a term used to describe the larvae of various species of wood-boring beetles that infest and feed on timber and wooden structures. These larvae burrow into the wood, creating a network of tunnels as they feed on the cellulose within.
The most common species of woodworm include the common furniture beetle (Anobium punctatum), the house longhorn beetle (Hylotrupes bajulus), and the deathwatch beetle (Xestobium rufovillosum).
Infestations are often identified by small round exit holes in the surface of the wood, along with a fine powdery dust known as frass, which is left behind as the larvae tunnel through the timber.
Woodworm infestations can weaken the structural integrity of wooden components over time, potentially leading to damage or collapse if left untreated.
Treating woodworm infestations requires expertise and should be entrusted to experienced woodworm professionals such as Tyne Tees Damp Proofing. Here is a general outline of the process.
Each Tyne Tees Woodworm treatment is unique, and the expenses associated with it depends on factors such as the area of the size affected and the costs of necessary materials and products to replace damaged timbers.
