It's Woodworm Season!
3 June 2025
In the UK, timber infestations occur all year round but are most prevalent from April to September.

Timber infestations, commonly referred to as woodworm, occur year-round but are most prevalent in the UK from April to September when adult beetles emerge to reproduce; larvae can remain active throughout the year in warm, humid environments, especially within heated buildings, underscoring the importance of regular inspections to safeguard wooden structures.
During this period, adult beetles emerge from the wood, creating new exit holes and leaving frass (woodworm dust), which makes infestations highly visible and detectable, signaling active wood damage requiring prompt attention.
At Maljon, we specialise in conducting thorough inspection surveys to accurately assess and diagnose issues related to dampness, insect infestations, and fungal decay, offering tailored services that can target specific areas or cover the entire property according to your unique requirements.
