It is important to act quickly to avoid further damage from wood borers. These are signs that you might have a woodborer issue.
· Sharp sides make wood look cleaner and fresher.
· Placement tests may be done in timbers (sometimes called galleries).
· Frass, also known as “birthed soil”, is a type of adult beetle. It can often be found under infected wood.
· In difficult situations, poor or damaged floorboards can prove to be dangerous. For example, a chair leg or foot can cause serious injury by breaking through the flooring.
· Wooden splintering around the edges of roofing joints or flooring
· Dead beetles can often be found on windowsills bordering polluted lumber.
· Adult beetles may emerge from wood at different times.
· The beetle determines the size and shape of eggs. However, they are difficult to see with your naked eye.
