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

Can I treat woodworm infestations myself?
