Depending on the kind and moisture content of the wood, wood borers are insects that eat away at wood, causing damage to both furniture and structural wood. Wood borers is a common term used to describe wood-boring beetles. Powderpost beetles of the bostrichid, buprestidae, anobiid, and lyctid families are a few types of wood-boring beetles. Insects that can damage wood-based furniture and structural wood are powder post beetle and wood borer larvae.
Because wood boring beetles are drawn to moist wood, keep doors, furniture, and other wooden objects dry.To stop the infestation from spreading to other areas, remove any infested wood.You must treat your home with an insecticide labeled for wood-boring beetles if you see powderpost beetles, borer beetles, common furniture beetles, or any other wood-boring beetles or woodworms.
