| Ian,
many thanks for taking the time to enter that info. I know what to look out
for in the future! My problem turned out to be woodworm after all, and
treatment was far less hassle than yours!

| Mike,
I would be interested in how what you did about your woodworm as I
also have that to deal with as well. Did you treat yours yourself ?
Was it extensive or localised ?
Rgds, Ian

| Quite restricted (I hope!) Most noticable where the carpet gripper rods
were, on one wall mainly. The floorboards were like cardboard. I replaced
what i could see was affected (only about 4 boards width away from the wall)
and sprayed the boards in the room plus underneath and the joists. Not sure
that I've caught it all, but it'll do for now!

| Yes, I've done much the same, although only one floorboard was bad
enough to need replacing. However I've found attacks in nearly every
room but only in isolated patches. I've never seen a beetle so
hopefully it's dormant. I've treated it where I can, but haven't gone
to the lengths of removeing skirting or lifting all floorboards for
complete access to joists - I've just lifted a few & sprayed along the
joist as far as possible. Fingers crossed !!
Regards, Ian
