Information Paper 8/94 House longhorn beetle: geographical distribution and pest status in the UK
Publication Year
1994
Document Status

Abstract
House longhorn beetle causes potentially serious damage to softwood roofing timbers within a specific area of south-east England. Preliminary results of a new BRE survey indicate that most infestations are still within the area where protective treatment of roof timbers is mandatory under the Building Regulations. However, scattered infestations were still found in Great London, Kent, Sussex and Hampshire. Properties built during the 1920s and 1930s were most commonly reported as infested. There have been no reports of infestations in roof timbers treated in compliance with the Regulations.
