Protecting Your Squad from the Nuisances & Dangers of Woodworm
Woodworm is a common problem that can affect the integrity and aesthetic of wooden structures and furniture. Woodworm refers to the larvae of various beetles that burrow into wood, causing damage that can be both unsightly and dangerous. If left untreated, it can compromise the strength of wooden beams, floors, and furniture, leading to costly repairs.
