It is not at all easy to fight this wood pest, because it does not come out, but is constantly present in the thickness of the structure of the tree. That is why sometimes you find out about its presence quite late, when the structure is already in disrepair.
The presence of pests in the wood can easily be determined by the presence of thin holes, about 2 mm. As a rule, wood flour is already falling out of such holes. According to these signs you can judge that a woodworm larva (maybe more than one) lives in the tree. If you take a sharp tool and try to pierce the wood, you can determine the degree of wood infestation, you can read more here https://www.shashel.eu/woodworm If the tool enters the wood easily, then such a construction can be thrown out and replaced with a new one. The best option is to burn the infested wood.
