If woodworm infestation has got you down, make a call to the experts at Young's Pest Control. We are specially trained to deal with woodworm infestation and treatment for woodworm.

Furniture Beetles
In the United Kingdom, you're most likely to find the furniture beetle infesting homes and businesses, attacking joists, floorboards, furniture, and other wood. Furniture Beetles are a type of woodworm. They are usually identified by small holes on the surface of the timber of approximately 1.5 to 2 mm diameter or else the bore dust left behind. Bore dust feels gritty when rubbed between the fingers, and if you take a magnifying glass, it will look like oval pellets.
- 3 to 5 mm long
- Its thorax looks like a monk's hood over the beetles head
- Common variety: deathwatch beetle Xestobium rufuvillosum
- House longhorn beetle Hylotrupes Paulus
