Wood borers (Powder Post Beetles) are tiny beetles whose larvae feed extensively on the wood.
Wood borers (Powder Post Beetles) are tiny beetles whose larvae feed extensively on the wood.
The wood worms while emerging make tiny pin size holes on the surface of wooden furniture or fixture.
Those tiny holes which you see on wood surface are actually the exit -holes where the adult wood borer has left.
When a wood borer infestation is left untreated, they can potentially develop into a serious issue, such as damaging wooden floors, door and furniture.
Inspect wood to insure that wood is not infested at the time of home construction, wood finishes.
Protect wood from infestation by painting or varnishing to seal pores, cracks, and holes where these beetles could lay eggs.
Remove infected wood to avoid the infestation from spreading to another area.
Try to keep furniture, door and wooden items dry.
Don’t store firewood against exterior walls of your house.
Don’t wipe your furniture with a wet cloth, as it may cause dampness.
