Signs of a Powderpost Beetle Infestation
Not sure if you’re dealing with powderpost beetles? Here’s what to look for:
- Fine powdery frass: A sure sign of beetle activity is the sawdust-like material near wooden surfaces.
- Small exit holes: Round or oval holes (1/16 to 1/8 inch) in wood are where adult beetles have emerged.
- Weakened wood: Over time, infestations compromise the wood’s structure, leading to visible damage or instability.
