Woodworms at Home: Are Furniture Beetles a Threat?

Furniture beetles, often referred to as woodworms, are small insects that can wreak havoc on wooden furniture. These beetles burrow into the wood, causing structural damage that weakens the integrity of your furniture. But are they harmful to humans?

While furniture beetles are not directly dangerous to people, their presence can create secondary issues. The wood dust and debris from their activity can trigger allergies or irritate respiratory conditions in sensitive individuals. Additionally, the damage to furniture can lead to instability, posing physical risks in severe cases.

At FOAB, we prioritize durability and safety by using pest-resistant treatments during the crafting process. We kiln-dry wood and apply finishes that not only enhance the aesthetic but also protect against infestations. Regular inspections and a controlled indoor environment can help prevent woodworm problems in your home.
