your furniture and would you like to eliminate it?&nbsp;Don&#8217;t worry, there are several natural remedies to get rid of these annoying insects that feed on wood and ruin furniture.&nbsp;Let&#8217;s find out what they are and how to use them to revitalize furniture and make it last a long time!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Woodworms in wooden furniture are annoying and also very harmful because&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>they can ruin fine furniture<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.&nbsp;Considered xylophagous, these insects feed on wood, so it is normal for them to lay their eggs inside furniture or even in drawers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very often&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>they cause holes in furniture<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, which must be treated properly to eliminate all the woodworms found inside.&nbsp;But how to do it?&nbsp;Here are&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>some very effective natural remedies<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;to get rid of woodworm permanently!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">bay leaf and cinnamon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingredients with a very strong smell, bay leaf and cinnamon are often used to eliminate bad odors in the home but they&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>also work as insect repellents<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.&nbsp;In fact, its aroma keeps away some of the most annoying insects that invade environments and both also act in the fight against furniture woodworm.&nbsp;This is what you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dried bay leaves and ground cinnamon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cotton bags<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Place&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>dried bay leaves<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>ground cinnamon<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>cotton bags<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and place them on woodworm-infested furniture.&nbsp;In no time they will disappear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lemon and white vinegar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lemon juice&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>and white vinegar<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;are two ingredients that you can easily find in the kitchen and that are very useful to get rid of woodworm.&nbsp;Here&#8217;s how to use them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 tablespoon white vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Half a glass of lemon juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 liter of water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mix the solution obtained<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and dip&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a sponge<\/strong>&nbsp;in it &nbsp;, then&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>wipe it over the woodworm-infested furniture<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.&nbsp;The repellent action of the vinegar and the disinfecting action of the lemon will act on the insects, making them stay away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lavender<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A plant known for its particular smell,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>lavender is not well tolerated by woodworms<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and therefore represents an excellent solution to scare them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>fresh lavender flowers in cotton bags<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and place them inside wooden furniture to diffuse the smell and keep woodworms away.&nbsp;Another way to use lavender is the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place 10 drops of essential oil in a glass of water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfer the solution obtained to a spray bottle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spray on woodworm infested furniture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The insects&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>will not resist the smell of lavender<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and will be eliminated instantly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other effective ingredients to eliminate woodworm.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the ingredients mentioned above, here are others that are very effective in removing woodworm from furniture and keeping it away:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2013Citrus peels<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;\u2013 Dry orange or lemon peels, of your choice, by placing them in the sun.&nbsp;Once dry, cut them into pieces and place them in cotton bags that you will have to close with a ribbon.&nbsp;Place the bags inside the furniture and the aroma of citrus peels will keep woodworms away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2013Garlic<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;\u2013 effective natural remedy against woodworm, garlic is easy to find at home and is also quite inexpensive.&nbsp;To remove woodworm from furniture, rub some segments where holes are present.&nbsp;Also put some cloves in a cotton bag and place it in a drawer or cabinet to keep woodworms away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2013Alcohol<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;\u2013 if the other remedies have not given the desired results, resort to denatured alcohol, which is equally respectful of the environment.&nbsp;Here&#8217;s how to use alcohol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Soak some cotton balls in alcohol.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rub them on woodworm-infested furniture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put some alcohol in a plastic syringe and inject it into the holes in the wood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way the product will reach the woodworms inside the holes and eliminate them.&nbsp;The solution completely eliminates both the larvae and the eggs and is therefore effective in freeing you from these annoying insects that ruin furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be careful, though, because if it is painted furniture, alcohol can discolor the color, so use it carefully and only treat the holes, avoiding rubbing it on the outside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you found woodworm in your furniture and would you like to eliminate it?&nbsp;Don&#8217;t worry, there are several natural remedies
