Woodworm?
Woodworm?
Last night I noticed a very loud scratching noise coming from our bathroom door. Evidence of something(sort of sawdust) on the ground. Not sure how to treat it because no evidence of way in for the little critters. Anyone got any solutions?
Re: Woodworm?
Take the door off and have a good look for a hole. Might be on top or underneath . Sawdust should give you an idea of location.
You can buy carcoma treatment. Liquid form or spray tin. For one hole spray tin is best. Comes with an angled nozzle. Wear gloves and get the nozzle in as far as possible.
The only one we ever had after we extensively treated all beams , was in the bathroom door too. Have a good look around the house for anymore sawdust. They can be difficult to eradicate as you need to break the cycle of reproduction/eggs hatching.

Re: Woodworm?
Wood worm don't tend to make much noise , not the sort you can hear at any rate.
Now termites do, as do black watch beetles, as well as that bloody great wood boring beetle they have out here, and the Palm Beetle ( is the noise from out side)
What ever it is - you have got to find it - Pronto

I suspect it will be longhorn beetle.

Definately a clicking noise. So loud that I recorded it to play to my hubby!. Since last night have heard or seen nothing. What do these beetles look like. Because I saw what I thought were cucarachas last night more than usual. I hate them so i dont really have a good look. Will just have to monitor carefullu.
