The thing about woodworms is that they are not actually worms at all. The name is actually attributed to the larvae of any number of wood-boring beetles like powderpost Beetles (Lyctinae), deathwatch beetles (Xestobium rufovillosum) and cottonwood borers (Plectrodera scalator). The adult beetles lay eggs on or just beneath the surface of wooden structures and the resulting grubs will feed on the wood, boring their way through the structure as they grow and emerge as adults later on.
Similar to termites, beetles burrow through the wood, causing damage to wooden structures around businesses. This is why woodworm inspection and treatment services may be needed on your property. In fact, a serious woodworm infestation can cause wooden floors and wooden structures to collapse completely.
Woodworms prefer to live outdoors and greatly prefer damp wood, so the dry wood of furniture is not their preferred place to live. However, they can end up indoors when wooden furniture is brought into the business from elsewhere.
