woodworm

[scruff]

I put down a wooden floor approx 2 yrs ago now appears to be woodworm on one of the boards any 1 any experience thankd scruff

Yes! Woodworm lay their eggs in the wood and the grub lives in it for 5 years. The wood may have already been infected. We are experiencing this problem at the moment. I haven't actually treated my floors yet but I know that they do sell woodworm treatment for floorboards and it costs around £20. I would try your nearest large DIY shop for more advice.

Thanks Pipette, people who laid the floor are going to replace the board and advisisng me to spray the area, I am reluctant to do this as I have a one and half year old and am afraid of toxic chemicals. Read woodworm section at www.askjeff.co.uk. Does anyone else know if these chemicals are safe!!!

Pipette was your wood floor relatively new Thanks Scruff
