Woodworm is a common pest problem in the UK, causing severe structural damage to homes and businesses. New roofs are particularly susceptible to woodworm infestations, making it vital for property owners to protect their investment with effective woodworm prevention. At PGH Pest Prevention, we provide comprehensive woodworm prevention services to ensure your new roof remains safe, secure, and free of pests.
The Woodworm Problem and Its Impact on New Roofs
Woodworm is the term used for the larvae of wood-boring beetles that infest and feed on timber. The most common species in the UK is the Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum). New roofs, especially those made from untreated timber, are attractive to these pests, as they provide a suitable environment for the larvae to grow and mature.
The main issue with woodworm infestations is the weakening of timber structures. As the larvae feed on the wood, they create a network of tunnels, compromising the structural integrity of the roof. Left untreated, a woodworm infestation can lead to costly repairs, roof collapse, and potential hazards to occupants.

Signs of woodworm infestations include small, round exit holes in timber, powdery dust (frass) near these holes, and weakened or damaged wood. If you suspect an infestation, it’s crucial to call a professional pest control company like PGH Pest Prevention for an inspection and assessment.
How long does the woodworm prevention treatment take?
The duration of the treatment varies depending on the size of the property and the extent of the infestation. In most cases, our technicians can complete the treatment within a day.
Is the woodworm prevention treatment safe for my family and pets?
Yes, our woodworm prevention solutions are environmentally friendly and safe for your family and pets. Our technicians will also provide guidance on any precautions you need to take during and after the treatment process.

FAQs
Yes, woodworm infestations can spread to other timber structures within your property if left untreated. Early detection and intervention are crucial to preventing the spread of woodworm and protecting your investment.
In most cases, you won’t need to vacate your property during the treatment process. Our technicians will work efficiently to minimise disruption to your daily routine. However, we recommend avoiding the treated areas until the solution has dried completely, which usually takes a few hours.
Our woodworm prevention treatment is designed to be effective immediately. However, it can take several weeks for the treatment to fully penetrate the timber and eliminate all woodworm larvae. Following the treatment, you should see a significant reduction in woodworm activity, and within a few months, the infestation should be completely eradicated.
While it’s impossible to guarantee complete prevention of woodworm infestations, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk. These include maintaining adequate ventilation in your property to reduce moisture levels, using treated timber for new constructions, and having regular inspections by pest control professionals like PGH Pest Prevention.
