Woodworm infestations can wreak havoc in your loft spaces, causing severe damage to your property and valuables. At PGH Pest Prevention, we understand the impact woodworm can have on your home or business and are dedicated to providing effective, comprehensive solutions to tackle this problem. With our expert woodworm treatment services, you can rest assured that your loft space will be pest-free and protected for years to come.
The Woodworm Problem in Loft Spaces
Woodworm is the common name for larvae of wood-boring beetles, such as the Common Furniture Beetle, Death Watch Beetle, and House Longhorn Beetle. These pests lay their eggs in the cracks and crevices of wood, where the larvae then feed and tunnel through the wood, causing structural damage.
Loft spaces are particularly susceptible to woodworm infestations due to their damp, dark, and often undisturbed conditions. Infestations can weaken the structural integrity of your property, damage stored items, and negatively impact the overall value of your home or business.

FAQs
Signs of woodworm infestation may include small, round exit holes in the wood, fine dust (frass) around these holes, damaged and weakened timber, or even sightings of adult beetles. If you suspect a woodworm infestation, it is best to contact a professional pest control company like PGH Pest Prevention for an inspection.
Yes, woodworm infestations can spread to other areas of your property if left untreated. It is crucial to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your home or business.
Woodworm larvae can infest a wide range of wood types, but they tend to prefer softer woods like pine and spruce. Damp, untreated, or old wood is also more susceptible to infestation.
The length of the woodworm life cycle varies depending on the species but can take anywhere from 1 to 5 years. During this time, the larvae will continue to feed on the wood, causing further damage.
While there are DIY treatment options available, it is strongly recommended that you seek professional help to ensure the infestation is properly treated and eradicated. PGH Pest Prevention has the expertise and equipment necessary to effectively handle woodworm infestations in loft spaces.
