    What is woodworm?

    The Common Furniture Beetle, scientifically known as Anobium Punctatum is the most frequently encountered wood-boring insect in the UK. Woodworm can be found on your property in several locations including in older furniture and all construction timbers. This pest usually gravitates towards areas around loft access, timbers in contact with solid walls, under stairs, cupboards, and any other spaces affected by moisture. A woodworm treatment contractor can prevent these insects from burrowing into your structural timber and can protect your property.

    What causes woodworm?

    Woodworm may be caused by several things. Here are some of the factors that can contribute to a woodworm infestation and may cause you to need a woodworm treatment contractor:
