Woodworm Treatment Experts in Dorset and Hampshire – Precise identification of infestations, effective treatment solutions, and lasting timber protection

Woodworm infestations can lead to significant internal damage to timber if not addressed in time, often going undetected for years. Proper treatment relies on accurately identifying the insect species, determining whether the infestation is still active, and safeguarding the wood from future attacks. At Armon, every woodworm treatment is guided by detailed surveys and evidence-based methods, carried out by our in-house experts using reliable systems focused on long-term timber protection rather than short-term solutions.

Woodworm is a common problem caused by the larvae of wood-boring beetles that live and feed inside timber. Over time, they create tunnels that weaken wood and can damage furniture, flooring, or structural parts of a building. It often goes unnoticed until visible signs appear on the surface.

Key signs of woodworm:

  • Small round holes in the wood surface

  • Fine powdery dust (frass) near the holes

  • Wood that feels weak, crumbly, or damaged

  • Occasional tiny beetles near wooden items

If these signs are present, it may indicate an active infestation that needs treatment.

Woodworm infestations are usually caused by conditions that allow wood-boring beetles to lay eggs and their larvae to survive inside timber. The problem often develops in environments where wood is damp, untreated, or poorly maintained.

Main causes of woodworm:

  • Damp or humid conditions that attract beetles
  • Untreated or unprotected wood
  • Poor ventilation in rooms or storage areas
  • Old or decaying timber
  • Bringing in infested furniture or wood items
