Woodborer Pest Control In Mumbai

After termites, wood-boring beetles are the most important wood-destroying insects in homes, offices etc. The amount of damage that wood-boring beetles cause depends on many factors. The type of wood (hardwood or softwood), the moisture content of the wood, and the environmental conditions at the infestation site all affect the severity of beetle damage.

Only the larvae damage wood. The female lays an average of twenty to fifty eggs in crevices. When they hatch, the tiny larvae bore down into the wood. As the larvae grow, they bore to a point just underneath the surface of the wood, where they change into adults.

After they change, the adults cut a 1/32 to 1/16 inch circular exit holes in the surface of the wood. Often, powdery wood dust created by the beetle’s feeding is pushed out as the adult emerges. This is why they are called “powder post” beetles. Males and females exit at the same time and mate, and the new generation of females lays eggs again.
