Common Misunderstandings
These beetles are not always brought in through lumber or furniture. Most infestations are caused by naturally occurring beetles in our region. People often mistake normal wear or dust for beetle activity.
Why It Matters
Over time, wood-boring beetles can cause real structural damage. In older homes, or homes with crawlspaces and elevated humidity, the risk is even greater. The sooner they’re identified, the easier it is to stop further damage.
How We Treat It
-
Surface applications of insecticide on affected wood
-
Targeted injection when necessary
-
Moisture barrier installation if the problem is related to crawlspace humidity
