Key Causes of Woodworm
Conditions of Dampness and Humidity
For woodworm larvae to flourish, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, and Edinburgh’s damp, chilly climate is perfect. In these damp settings, moist wood makes the ideal habitat for infestations.
Historic Structures
Woodworm attacks are especially common in older homes with exposed timber and inadequate ventilation. Over time, improper care and upkeep raise the possibility of infestations.
Absence of Frequent Maintenance
Woodworm infestations are more likely to occur in homes that have not received regular inspections or proper treatment. Damage may gradually worsen if routine care is neglected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is woodworm, and how does it impact my home?
Woodworm describes a wood-boring beetle which lays eggs into timber and causes structural damage. It damages wood, and the repairs can be expensive.
How do I know if I have a woodworm infestation in my house?
Symptoms The bugs leave small pinholes in the wood; sawdust will be present around the wood and mushroom spore-like growths on it.
Is woodworm treatment expensive?
Cost prices vary according to the spread of the infestation, but usually they’re a lot cheaper than fixing structural damage that results from woodworm.
Can woodworm spread to other parts of my house?
Indeed, woodworm can migrate if left untreated and can (further) devastate timber.
How long does it take to get rid of woodworm?
Therapy may last for 1 to 2 days depending on the extent of the condition and the size of the affected area.
How can I stop woodworm from returning?
Yes, if you air out the building more, treat wood with preservatives and prevent a moisture build-up, then you can stop another infestation.
