It's 9 a.m. and while the wood lice are having a gasp 1 on the dressing 2 table, the trunk's been gutted 3 from the inside out by this mighty 4 homewrecker. Woodworms lay their legs in cracks and crevices 5 and it can take the larva three years to grow into adults. They gnaw 6, bite, and tunnel through the wood they call home which can have a devastating 7 effect on your home. Usually all you'll see are the calling cards, the telltale holes, small piles of dust in crumbling 8 furniture. All this activity usually goes on unseen, but in this house, nothing escapes Bug 9 Brother's prime eyes. And there's another slippery customer skulking 10 in the shadows. Even the light-sensitive silverfish can avoid our cameras. It's their diet which makes them a problem. They'll nibble 11 literally 12 anything. They produce cellulases, enzymes 13 which break down cellulose, the normally indigestible marterial in plant tissue. That means they can even get nutrients 14 from paper, so the books aren't safe, neither is the glue holding the books together. Silverfish will even eat larva and the family photos are at risk too. Another interloper, usually more at home outside takes advantage of a free meal. A bee scrambles 15 for a pollen 16 fix, collecting nectary in its honey sacks. It would take the load back to its hive. Unfortunately for this bee, pollen's not the only thing it will carry home.
