The shot-hole borer attacks peach, plum, cherry, apple, pear and related trees. Also, there are many pine bark beetles. They will not infest structural or interior wood in the house. If infested firewood is stored inside the home, beetles can emerge and become quite annoying by their presence. Many appear on windowpane surfaces.
Adults resemble bark beetles.
They bore into the sapwood and often the heartwood, tunnelling in all directions. Tunnels, about pinhead width, are often stained black. They do not infest structural or interior wood. Adults can be found in dead wood as well as dried and seasoned lumber. Lyctid powderpost beetles attack hardwoods such as oak, ash, hickory and mahogany found in woodwork, flooring, structural wood, furniture, tool handles and firewood.
