Woodworm may affect roof rafters, loft timbers, floorboards, joists, timber beams, skirting boards, door frames and wooden items in garages or outbuildings.

Common warning signs include small round holes in timber, fine powdery dust known as frass, and visible deterioration.

Exit holes alone do not confirm that an infestation is active. An assessment can help establish the likely cause, the condition of the timber and whether treatment or repairs may be needed.

Wood-boring beetle larvae can remain inside timber for a long time before emerging, so damage is not always immediately obvious.

Investigating suspected activity can help you understand the extent of the issue and whether treatment or further structural assessment is appropriate. This can be particularly useful when buying, selling or renovating a property.
