The commonly used phrase 'woodworm' is in fact a generic term for a few, quite different wood boring beetles that target exposed timber and which can cause significant structural damage to a property or furniture if left unchecked. The adult wood boring beetles lay their eggs onto or just into untreated wood, and the woodworm larvae then burrow into the wood and feed on the starches, sugars and proteins in the sap for anything up to five years. When the woodworm beetle is ready to emerge as an adult, it moves close to the surface, pupates and then bores out of the wood.
