Though, sometimes, especially when the infestation is on the foundations of the house, you might not notice the problem for months. Because of that, yearly inspections are a good idea. You need to be on the lookout for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bullet-list bullet-list--check-blue\">\n\t\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span class=\"icon-check\"><\/span><strong>Unusual little holes with round shape in the wood<\/strong> &#8211; Depending on the larvae, the size may vary, but most commonly the holes are around 1mm to 1.8mm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"icon-check\"><\/span><strong>Sawdust (also known as frass)<\/strong> &#8211; You may notice it around these holes and in proximity to furniture or timber. This dust is the excrement of the larvae. If it\u2019s there, then there is probably an active woodworm infestation in the house.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"icon-check\"><\/span><strong>Presence of adult wood boring beetles<\/strong> &#8211; Seeing the flying beetles is not a definitive sign that there is an ongoing infestation at the moment, however, it is still worth investigating further.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div> <!-- \/.bullet-list -->\n\n\n\n<p>The reason you have woodworms is that borers lay their eggs on top of wooden structures. To grow, the larvae feed on that wood, creating holes in the process. The evolutionary habits of the beetles require them to feed on damp wood. In 99% of all cases that we examine dry wood is intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you are sure you have a woodworm infestation on your property, then you probably have a problem with moisture. One type of beetle larvae, those of the Woodboring weevil, only appear if there is fungal development on the wood. If you do not notice any issues with dampness, then the attic, basement or any other house area with bad ventilation could be attracting the beetles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s hard for you to determine whether your home is infested or not, then It\u2019s worth <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/insect-pest-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">calling professionals to inspect the premises<\/a>. They know what are the favourite hiding places for the woodworms and will tell you if your place needs treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cta-info-box\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"cta-info-box__image col-auto d-flex align-items-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/fantasticservices-com-blog\/assets\/images\/appIcons\/AppIcon76x76.png\"><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/figure> <!-- \/.cta-info-box__image -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta-info-box__body col\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Not sure if there are active woodworms in the house?<\/strong> We can send a team of professionals for a full inspection!<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"btn-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/contact-us\/\" class=\"btn\" title=\"<strong>Not sure if there are active woodworms in the house?<\/strong> We can send a team of professionals for a full inspection!\">Learn More<\/a> <!-- \/.btn -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.btn-holder -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.cta-info-box__body -->\n\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.row -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.cta-info-box -->\n\t<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Woodworm_treatment\">Effective woodworm treatment methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Understandably, you would want to get rid of the little pests as fast as possible, but oftentimes this is not possible.

Still, it\u2019s good to learn more about composition by checking the labels and definitely follow the application instructions for effective results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"icon-check\"><\/span><strong>Freezing treatment <\/strong>&#8211; This is a method that involves killing the woodworms by freezing the infested wooden material. This is usually done with furniture and smaller objects. It\u2019s a costly procedure that can take two to three weeks, but in some cases, it could be the most successful way to get rid of the little larvae. <em>Did you know that you can <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/how-to-get-rid-of-dust-mites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">use the freezing method to kill off dust mites<\/a> in smaller items, too? <\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"icon-check\"><\/span><strong>Low-oxygen treatment<\/strong> &#8211; Another option is low-oxygen treatment, but it is also a time-consuming method where fumigation helps deprive the larvae of oxygen until it is dead.

While there isn\u2019t a 100% guaranteed method, doing a few simple things can still lower the chance of getting your home infested by these little buggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing you can do to avoid woodworms is to buy an insecticide that kills the larvae. <strong>Then apply the insecticide in even coats and on all wooded areas in and around the house. Using wood varnish to add an extra layer of protection is also a good idea.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important thing is to <strong>keep an eye on the humidity levels in your home<\/strong>. As we mentioned above, some woodworms love damp wood and this may easily attract them to your home. Controlling the dampness levels in the property will give you some level of protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be careful when purchasing used furniture<\/strong> because it could already have woodworms inside. This way you will be bringing them directly into your home. Make sure to inspect the furniture in detail for holes and frass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cta-info-box\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"cta-info-box__image col-auto d-flex align-items-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/fantasticservices-com-blog\/assets\/images\/appIcons\/AppIcon76x76.png\"><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/figure> <!-- \/.cta-info-box__image -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta-info-box__body col\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>The Fantastic pest controllers can exterminate the woodworms in your home!<\/strong> Contact us for a check-up appointment!<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"btn-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/contact-us\/\" class=\"btn\" title=\"<strong>The Fantastic pest controllers can exterminate the woodworms in your home!<\/strong> Contact us for a check-up appointment!\">Learn More<\/a> <!-- \/.btn -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.btn-holder -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.cta-info-box__body -->\n\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.row -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.cta-info-box -->\n\t<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"takeaways\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"block-title\">Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\n<div class=\"bullet-list bullet-list--normal\">\n\t\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Woodworms are the larvae of the woodboring beetle that feed on different types of wood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the house, the white curvy worm can cause significant damage to furniture, art, floor, timber and even foundations of the property.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tiny dust and holes in the wood structure are the most telling signs that there is an active woodworm infestation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DIY woodworm treatment is normally done with different pesticides available in stores.
