  3. I urge everyone to read this post. Words fail me
  4. I know how you feel. Gutted for you.Hope you and the mrs are ok.
  5. Attack them now.Use woodworm killer,it comes in sprays. I had a major issue with woodworm when we moved into our home 10 years ago.We first noticed little holes in some of our laminate flooring and skirtings,we had no idea what they were at that piont so i was just using wood filler to fill the little holes. Couple of years later we were ripping up the laminate and discovered the carcases of litrally thousands of woodworm beetles,we had an infestation..they were in our skirtings door frames and even several of our joists. All had to be replaced as they were rendered unsafe by a surveyor.Luckily im handy and dome all the work myself. We still had some little pockets of woodworm here and there but we treated the wood with woodworm killer and thankfully we managed to catch them in time before a serious accident happened. I dont mean to scare you unnecessaerily but you may have deeper problems. Problem is its difficult to investigate how bad a problem you have without being distructive to your home.
