Woodworm treatment and Prevention Services

Woodworm infestations are a common problem for homeowners across the United Kingdom, especially in listed buildings and old buildings with wooden beams and floors. Common spaces where woodworm is found include barns, loft spaces, cellars.  These tiny yet destructive pests can cause severe damage to your home, leading to costly repairs and a decrease in your property’s value and sometimes affecting resale. At PGH Pest Prevention, we understand the stress and anxiety that a woodworm infestation can cause, and we’re here to help. Our expert team is highly skilled in identifying and treating woodworm, ensuring your home remains safe and secure. 

Woodworm Problem: Understanding the Issue 

Woodworm is the common name for the larvae of various species of wood-boring beetles, including the Furniture Beetle, Death Watch Beetle, and House Longhorn Beetle. These pests burrow into the wooden structures of your home, such as floorboards, joists, and furniture, causing extensive damage over time.

Woodworm infestations can lead to: 

  • Structural instability and weakened timber 
  • Unsightly holes and tunnels in wooden surfaces 
  • A decrease in property value due to damage

Guides:

How can I tell if I have a woodworm infestation? 

Common signs of woodworm infestation include small, round holes in wooden surfaces, fine sawdust (frass) around the holes, and weakened or crumbling timber. If you suspect a woodworm infestation, it’s essential to contact a professional for an assessment and treatment plan. 


Are woodworm treatments harmful to humans or pets? 

The woodworm treatments used by PGH Pest Prevention are environmentally friendly and safe for humans and pets. Our technicians take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of you and your family during the treatment process. 


How long does woodworm treatment take? 

The duration of woodworm treatment depends on the size and severity of the infestation. In most cases, treatment can be completed within a few hours. However, more extensive infestations may require multiple visits. Our technicians will provide an accurate time estimate during the initial inspection. 


Can I treat woodworm infestations myself?

While DIY treatments are available, they may not be as effective as professional treatments and can pose risks if not applied correctly. It is always advisable to consult a specialist pest control company for accurate identification and effective, safe treatment of woodworm infestations.

PGH have been brilliant. I had an issue with another pest company and wish I had used this company first! They've listened, are interested in finding a solution and couldn't have been more professional or kinder. They did a very thorough survey and developed an appropriate treatment plan and have been available to offer advice when I've called. I really would highly recommend them.
