What is woodworm?

Woodworm is the name for the larvae of all wood boring beetles, in the United Kingdom there are four common types:

* House Longhorn Beetle - Hylotrupes bajulus
* Common Furniture Beetle - Anobium punctatum
* Deathwatch Beetle - Xestobium rufuvillosum
* Powderpost Beetle - Lyctus brunneus

Woodworm problems are most common between May and September during their breeding season, however woodworm can occur all year round when conditions allow the larvae to exist. All of these woodworm beetles and consume wood, and then leave when they have reached maturity. Thankfully, problems associated with woodworm typically happen between May and September during the breeding season however, this is not always the case.
