How to Get Rid of Woodworm

Getting rid of woodworm can involve several methods.

One of the most eco-friendly methods is using parasitic wasps. These wasps are natural predators of woodworm larvae and can be introduced into infested areas to control the population without harmful chemicals. This method is not only effective but also minimises environmental impact.

Environmentally Friendly Methods

Parasitic Wasps: These tiny wasps target woodworm larvae, laying their eggs inside them. The wasp larvae then consume the woodworm from the inside out, effectively controlling the infestation.
Heat Treatment: This method involves raising the temperature of the affected wood to a level that is lethal to the woodworm larvae.
Freezing: For smaller items, freezing can be an effective method to kill woodworm larvae.

Woodworm Pest Control FAQs

Why do I have woodworm in my beams?

Woodworm infestations usually occur because the wood is damp or untreated. Adult beetles are attracted to these conditions for laying their eggs.
How can I tell if I have an existing problem with woodworm or if it is an old problem that has gone away?

Fresh exit holes and the presence of frass indicate an active infestation. If the holes are clean and no frass is present, it might be an old infestation that has already been treated.
How long does it take to treat woodworm with parasitic wasps?

The treatment duration can vary, but it generally takes a few months for parasitic wasps to significantly reduce the woodworm population.
Can woodworm damage electrical wiring or appliances?

Woodworm typically infest wood and are unlikely to damage electrical wiring or appliances directly. However, the structural damage they cause to wooden beams and supports can indirectly affect these systems.
