My property was treated for an infestation of woodworm last year, but a few insects have been appearing this year. Didn’t the treatment work?
Our treatment targets the young larvae buried within the timber and, as the life cycle of the insect is between 3 and 4 years in the case of Common Furniture Beetle, there can still be some woodworm beetles which have reached the adult stage emerging from the timber. This is commonly called “post treatment emergence”. However, any eggs that may be laid in cracks, crevices or old flight holes will not survive the treatment that has been applied to the timber, therefore breaking the life cycle.
