The signs of woodworm infestation can vary depending on the stage of the infestation and the type of wood-boring beetle involved. Here are some common signs to look out for: ✅ The emergence of adult beetles from the wood can cause small round exit holes. The size of the hole can vary depending on the species of beetle, but most are around 1-2mm in diameter. ✅ As the larvae burrow through the wood, they create tunnels and produce a fine, powdery dust called frass. You may also see small piles of sawdust-like material around the infested area. ✅ Woodworm larvae feed on the cellulose in the wood, which can weaken and damage the structure over time. You may notice soft or crumbling wood, or see tunnels or galleries beneath the surface. ✅ In some cases, you may see the adult beetles themselves, either flying around the infested area or caught in sticky traps. ✅ Popping or tapping sounds: In advanced infestations, you may hear a popping or tapping sound as the larvae burrow through the wood.
