If you’ve noticed tiny holes in your roof timbers or fine dust collecting in your loft, it might not just be old age — it could be woodworm.
At Weather Wise Solutions, we help Wrexham homeowners identify and treat woodworm infestations before serious damage sets in. Our timber specialists are CPD-qualified and we’re proud members of the Damp Proofing Association and the Federation of Damp, ensuring all work follows best practice.
🪵 What Is Woodworm?
Woodworm refers to the larvae of various beetles — especially the Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum) — that burrow into softwood and hardwood timbers. These pests are most active in older roof spaces, floorboards, and loft timbers, especially where there’s high humidity or poor ventilation.
We use trusted treatments from PAM Ties, known for their effective and long-lasting results.
🔍 Signs of Woodworm in Wrexham Properties
Look out for:
-
Small round exit holes (1–2mm) in timber
-
Fine powder (frass) below beams or joists
-
Weak, crumbling or flaking wood
-
Visible tunnels beneath the timber surface
-
Increased sightings of small beetles near windows or light fittings
The earlier these signs are spotted, the easier it is to treat and protect your home.
