Similar to termites and carpenter ants, powderpost beetles can cause structural damage to your home by destroying the wood. Female beetles bore into the wood and lay their eggs in its cracks. When the larvae hatch, they feed on the wood, creating a series of tunnels, and then tunnel their way out when they reach adulthood, leaving a tiny exit hole.
Since the damage may be hidden behind walls and sheet rock, the best way determine if you have an infestation of powderpost beetles is by scheduling a free inspection with our trained pest control professionals.
