How Do I Get Rid Of Woodworm?

Woodworm is an infestation of the larvae and beetle of certain wood boring insects like the common furniture beetle, weevil, bark borer beetle and house longhorn beetle among others.

Woodworm is more often found in damp and humid environments and are known to cause great damage to furniture and other wood items; antiques and items of historic value are at particular danger from woodworm.

Generally one can find woodworm rot in the form of darkish pin sized holes bored in the wood; woodworms are commonly found in crevices in furniture and hence are often difficult to get rid off as most insecticides and chemicals used cannot penetrate deep in the wood.

Also there are different pest control measures for different types of woodworm; most experts in this regard are known to use a water based solution of chemicals and inject in crevices and holes for best results.  Extreme cold is known to be an effective remedy for woodworm in which the furniture items are kept in large refrigerated containers.
