I have gotten various bags from different people as usual creepy crawlies etc but dont mind them. But recently after a trip abroad i saw what WOODWORM can do to a house. Furniture, structural woodwork, all turned to saw dust. Is it a possibility we could be bringing woodworm into our homes without realising? Are woodworm a problem here in ireland? Or am i safe enough. I normally bring a bag or 2 and sit the wood on a wood holder and around the wooden fireplace.
