Effectively Treat Woodworm With Expert Heat Treatments
Woodworm are not, contrary to popular opinion, worms that live in wood.
Instead, the term woodworm refers to the larvae of various wood boring insects, including Common Furniture Beetles, Death Watch Beetles, House Longhorn Beetles and Powderpost Beetles.
Each of these wood boring beetles can cause serious damage to your property, which can often be very expensive to repair.
For stately homes and family estates, some furniture and artefacts can be irreplaceable, so it’s important you choose a non-invasive, chemical free woodworm treatment like the heat treatment services offered by Mission Pest Control.

Issues Caused By Woodworm
Woodworm can cause significant damage to your property and furniture, including:
- Unsightly Holes: Many wood boring beetles leave small holes in wooden furniture and beams as the larvae exit the wood, which can be ugly and unappealing.
- Weakened Wood: Wooden furniture or structures that have been home to wood boring insects can be more susceptible to other issues, such as damp, rot and even collapse.
- Structural Damage: When woodworm eat into beams, flooring and other parts of your property’s structure, they can cause lasting damage and weaken the structural integrity of your building.
Initially, you’ll probably notice a few holes in furniture, beams or floorboards around your home, as well as small piles of wood shavings and even live beetles or their eggs.
