A woodworm is not a specific species. It is the larval stage of
certain wood-boring beetles including:

Ambrosia Beetles (Platypodidae, Scolytidae)

Bark Borer Beetle / Waney Edge Borer (Ernobius mollis)

Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum)

Death Watch Beetle (Xestobium rufovillosum)

House Longhorn Beetle (Hylotrupes bajulus)
Powder Post Beetle (Lyctus brunneus)

Weevils (Pentarthrum huttoni, Euophryum confine)

The active ingredient in most woodworm eradication solutions is
Permethrin, mixed from 0.2% to 2.5% in some solutions I saw.

Premier Woodworm Killer (Word Doc)

That file above has complete instructions on how to make a batch, and
how to use it, with safety tips. Be sure to read the whole file, and
then get started. You can download and open as Read Only without the
password.

You can purchase Permethrin at a number of places on the Internet, and
various garden and pet stores.
