Powderpost Beetles questions from White Mountains residents
Powderpost beetles leave fine, flour-like powder and tiny round holes (1/32 to 1/8 inch) in hardwoods. Other borers leave coarser sawdust and larger holes. Species identification guides treatment.
Powderpost beetles often arrive in imported hardwoods, antiques, or bamboo products. They can also infest hardwood flooring, trim, or furniture. Infestations may take years to become apparent.
Borate treatments penetrate wood and kill larvae as they feed. We treat affected wood and vulnerable surfaces nearby. Heat treatment can eliminate beetles in furniture without chemicals.
Some species re-infest wood, while others complete one generation. Treating affected areas and sealing wood prevents spread. Our inspection determines species and infestation extent.
