Signs of Woodworm Infestation
Woodworm is often discovered after damage has already begun. Recognising the early signs can help prevent more serious structural issues. Common indicators include:
- Small, round exit holes in timber
- Fine powder (frass) around affected areas
- Weak or crumbling wood
- Tunnels within timber
- Adult beetles emerging, particularly in warmer months
If you notice any of these signs, a professional woodworm survey in Southampton is recommended.
Woodworm Treatment Specialists Near Southampton
Not all signs of woodworm mean active infestation. That’s why accurate diagnosis is essential before any treatment begins.
Before any treatment is carried out, we perform a detailed inspection to confirm the presence and extent of woodworm. This ensures you only receive treatment where it’s genuinely needed.
Effective treatment depends on the type and severity of infestation. We use proven methods to eliminate active larvae and protect timber from further attack.
Our woodworm treatment specialists near Southampton apply targeted treatments that are safe, effective and designed for long-term protection.
Preventing Future Woodworm Problems
Woodworm infestations are often linked to damp or poorly ventilated conditions. Addressing these issues is key to preventing recurrence.
Where needed, we may recommend additional services such as damp proofing or timber repairs to protect your property long-term. You may also benefit from:
- Damp problem diagnosis and treatment
- Dry rot and wet rot repairs
- Structural timber repairs
