Don't know but I'm only going to buy kiln dried logs from Lithuania now to help prevent this.

If I had a penny for every woodworm hole in this old farmhouse I would be a millionaire.

I do however take it seriously and treat all exposed timber every 3 years including roof trusses.

I don't think woodworm will damage a house. Well at least you will need a whole army of them

 

As a bit of advice, get a basket or something to store them in your house. No Direct contact with surfaces will minimize risks.....If there are any.......

 

And Yeah, house timber should have been soaked in chemicals upon construction which would stop timber from rotting too early and keep bastards like wood worms far far away.....
