Wood Borer

Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum): Also known as the furniture beetle, these wood borers commonly infest wooden furniture, flooring, and structural wood. They leave small round exit holes and powdery frass (sawdust) behind.

Powderpost Beetles: This term is used to describe several different species of wood-boring beetles. They create small, round exit holes and fine, powdery frass. The larvae of powderpost beetles feed on the cellulose in wood.

Longhorn Beetles (Cerambycidae): Longhorn beetles have long antennae and are known for their elongated bodies. Their larvae tunnel deep into wood, causing structural damage. They can be found in both hardwood and softwood.

Flatheaded Borers (Buprestidae): These borers have flattened bodies and are typically metallic in color. Their larvae create irregular, flattened tunnels in wood.
