Effective woodworm treatment in Cheltenham

Woodworm refers to a group of beetles that spend part of their lives in timber. Some woodworm species prefer dry conditions however most tend to appear in damp areas. Female woodworm lay eggs in cracks and gaps in timber while her larvae - or worm - really does the damage. Burrowing inside the wood, woodworms eventually hatch into adult beetles that bore their way to the air through flight holes. These can be seen on the surface of the wood and indicate woodworm activity within.
