Insect Attacks

Life cycle of typical wood boring beetle

In the diagram above you will see the life cycle that a beetle goes through and the time scale that is involved before woodworm is discovered, most of all when damage to wood is already done.

 

There are many forms of woodworm from Common Furniture beetle to Wood-boring Weevils.
