Timber Treatment
Woodworm infestation, can cause damage to timbers, rafters and furniture using the timber as a source of food.
The three major species of woodworm that cause damage to timber in buildings are:
Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum) ‘Woodworm’,
Wood Boring Weevil (Euophryum confine)
House Longhorn Beetle (Hylotrupes bajulus).
Woodworm attack untreated timber in your home; your roof, flooring and furniture can be affected.
The tell-tale holes are the result of the beetle grubs boring through the roofing and flooring timbers or any timber in the area. If left untreated the grubs can weaken the tensile strength of structural timbers and this can result in floors or roofs collapsing.
We cannot stress enough the importance of early intervention as the damage caused can be severe and costly.
