in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
I have mentioned the following to other people and they don`t believe me!I have just had my bathroom redecorated however within a day small holes appear in the paintwork I guess the size of a pin head.

My wife has seen little tiny insects on the wood work in warm weather.Whatever it is,the critters seem to bury through the paintwork into the wood.Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sorry, but it sounds like it could be woodworm. You can buy a product that you just paint on from most diy shops. Good luck

    Hello Pobby

    I don't know if you've searched for information yet but here is a link to a site giving woodworm information.

    Regards

    You need woodworm and dry rot killer.

    Just paint it onto the wood. It would have been better to do this before you decorated - for future reference.
