Antique furniture that has been through a lot can sometimes show its age and it is very rare for there to be no woodworm holes at all. Of course, the presence of wormholes does not mean that the woodworms are still alive. As a precaution, we treat all chests of drawers with an environmentally friendly anti-woodworm agent so that the unpopular little creatures do not survive. If there was still a live woodworm in the old wood and it survived the anti-woodworm treatment, the following should be noted: The woodworm's ability to destroy wood is very low. The wood only loses its stability when there is an extremely high density of woodworm holes. The small woodworm is often confused with the really "dangerous" wood borer, which leaves holes of approx. 4-5 mm in size and therefore has "real destructive power". Woodworms die out by themselves in today's warm and dry living climate. Woodworms need cool, damp cellars. In addition, the beetles are basically "localized", i.e. they remain in their "home wood" and do not infest other neighbouring wooden furniture.
