WOOD BORING BEETLES

Wood-boring beetles, also known as wood-boring insects, are a group of pests that can cause significant damage to wooden structures and furniture. There are many different species of wood-boring beetles, including powderpost beetles, deathwatch beetles, and old house bores. These pests can range in size from less than 1 cm to over 2 cm, and their colors can vary from reddish-brown to black.

Wood-boring beetles typically infest wood that is moist, decaying, or has high moisture content. They lay their eggs in cracks or crevices in the wood, and the larvae feed on the inside of the wood, creating tunnels and galleries as they grow.
