Life Stages of Woodworm

Woodworm larvaeThe four life processes of woodworm are egg, larva, cocoon, adult beetle. Usually, adult beetles will rest their eggs in wooden furniture or the cracks of wooden beams. Floorboards are also perfect places for eggs to be laid, as they are shielded and protected.

When the young hatch, their instinct is to burrow into the timber, making them almost invisible to the human eye. The larva is a highly ravenous creature and feeds solely on wood. Young will inhabit the wood for at least a few years and eat their fill before they begin to change.

Within this timeframe, they will dramatically increase in size and will begin to move towards the surface. Eventually, they will transform into adult beetles and emerge from the timber.

Interesting Facts About Woodworm

Different insects are likely to attack different types of timber. They prefer other woods, and this will significantly help you in the identification and location process of the concerned species. Many kinds of woodworm are fond of softer woods such as pine, spruce and cedar. At the same time, other species prefer more complex varieties such as oak, ash and mahogany. Nevertheless, you should identify the species causing the infestation from the tell-tale signs they leave behind. If you are suffering from an infestation, then professional Prescot woodworm treatment must be administered immediately.
