Wood affected by woodworm. Signs of woodworm usually consist of holes in the wooden item, with live infestations showing powder (faeces), known as frass, around the holes.. The size of the holes varies, but they are typically 1 to 1.5 millimetres (5 ⁄ 128 to 1 ⁄ 16 in) in diameter for the most common household species, although they can be much larger in the case of the house longhorn beet

An internal (or endoparasitic) infestation is a condition in which organisms live within the host and includes those involving worms (though swimmer's itch stays near the surface). Sometimes, the term "infestation" is reserved for external ectoparasitic infestations [5] while the term infection refers to internal endoparasitic conditions. [6]
This batch is deposited near water, where the eggs hatch in 5–7 days. The larvae mature in water or soil, [ 5 ] where they feed on organic material such as decaying animal and vegetable products. Fly larvae are 1–6 cm (0.39–2.36 in) long and take 1–3 years to mature from egg to adult. [ 7 ]
Instead of affecting the whole area subject to budworm infestation, some past outbreaks have occurred in separate regions. [52] For example, in the lower St. Lawrence and Gaspé regions, radial-growth studies of balsam fir and white spruce confirmed outbreaks known to have taken place in lower St. Lawrence in 1878 and 1912.
