Yep we knew the house had wood worm when we bought it just before christmas but not that much. Top tip, if you see some worm holes in floor boards assume the worst. The best way to check the the floor boards for worm damage is to stab the boards at the tongued and grooved joint with a screw driver, hard. The creatures seem to like that bit. With no holes visible on the floor board surface my screw driver sunk in and all I got was dust.
So I'm about to rip up the kitchen floor, (still hoping the joists are OK).
I intend putting chip board back after treatment but wondered if its possible to insulate the boards in some way. It seems a shame not to add some insulation while the floor is up. Any ideas would be great, Thanks
