Woodworm
We try to ensure that there are no worm holes remaining in the finished boards but it is not always possible to spot every pin hole especially when they look very similar to pin knots. Worm holes tend to occur mainly in the sapwood which is softer.
Woodworm tends to give up when they get to the heartwood as it is so hard and dense. If any woodworm holes remain, it is most unlikely that the worm/flight holes are active after the boards have been through the kiln drying process.
If you find any flight holes prior to fitting the floor, you could either exchange the boards or if it is just the odd hole this could be treated with a proprietary woodworm treatment.
