Two types-the first is bark beetles, the other woodworm.

Bark beetles come in on the firewood and, when they notice the change in conditions, tend to try and exit to the wild-lots of beetles on the window sill!:ohmy:

Woodworm-you see there holes into the timber and you sometimes expose a worm on splitting. These will mature and find any "dead" wood such as furniture. ("Live" worm holes are sometimes revealed by a little pile of dust under the hole).

 

Having had bark beetles, the problem is they look very like the pictures of woodworm and so we were a bit worried about the intergrity of our "half timbered" house! We caught some and asked the local Environmental Health.

 

Best -if selling- is to say there is the chance of beetle, which could be woodworm, and only bring in a small "ready to use" stock at a time
