Expert Woodworm Control in Somerset the South West
Woodworm might be small, but the damage they cause can be serious. These wood-boring insects eat away at the structural timber in your home or business, often going unnoticed until it's too late. If you’ve spotted tiny holes in your woodwork, fine sawdust (frass), or weakened timber, it’s time to act. At South West Pest Fumigation, we provide professional woodworm treatments across Somerset and the South West, helping to protect your property from long-term structural damage.
Every treatment is carried out by Martin, who is RSPH Level 2 certified and has years of experience in pest control. You’ll receive clear, honest advice and a thorough treatment service tailored to your situation.
Understanding Woodworm
Woodworm refers to the larvae of several species of wood-boring beetles. The most common in the UK is the Common Furniture Beetle, but others include the Deathwatch Beetle and House Longhorn Beetle. These pests lay their eggs in timber, and the larvae tunnel through the wood as they feed — often for several years — before emerging as adult beetles, leaving behind exit holes and powdery frass. Left untreated, woodworm can seriously weaken structural beams, floorboards, furniture, and roof timbers.

Our Woodworm Treatment Services
Martin will carry out a detailed inspection of the affected area to determine the extent of the infestation and identify the beetle species. Once confirmed, he’ll apply a professional-grade treatment, usually in the form of a surface spray that penetrates the timber to eliminate larvae and prevent future infestations. For more severe cases, additional measures may be required. You’ll also be given practical advice on ventilation, damp control, and wood maintenance to prevent reinfestation. If needed, Martin can arrange follow-up visits to monitor the treated area.
