Wood boring beetles can be as destructive as termites to the wood structure of your home. Thrasher Termite & Pest Control inspectors are trained to identify these difficult to control beetles. When you find small, round holes in the surface of wood, suspect wood boring beetles. These holes are called exit holes because they are created by adult wood boring beetles exiting the wood after most of their damage has been done.
Compare the photos below. The first shows a pen tip in a wood boring beetle exit hole on a piece of plywood. The second photo shows the other side of the same piece of plywood and the hidden damage caused by wood boring beetles.

If you see signs of wood boring beetles or any other wood destroying pest, call Thrasher Termite & Pest Control for a consultation. Better yet, don’t wait until the damage becomes obvious to the untrained eye, order an inspection of your home every 5 years. It’s far less expensive and far easier to eliminate a new infestation of wood boring beetles or termites.
