Wood Borer / Powder Falling

Professional Service Provider

Wood borer  Wood borers (Powder Post Beetles) are tiny beetles whose larvae feed extensively on the wood. If you see white/yellowish powder (Bore dust is also known as frass) in your wooden cupboards/cabinets and its drawers every day, which comes back the very next day even if you clean it? If yes, then most likely you have a problem with Wood-borers. You may not realize that you have a wood borer problem until the resulting damage becomes visible, so early identification is key before they cause more harm. The woodworms while emerging make tiny pin size holes on the surface of wooden furniture or fixture. Those tiny holes which you see on the wood surface are the exit -holes where the adult wood borer has left. The fine yellowish colored powder (Bore Dust) starts appearing from these tiny holes. This indicates the destructive activity of borers deep inside the core of the wood as these are internal feeders. They feed on the cell contents of the sapwood. While feeding they make tunnels and pupate within the wood. The beetles are more active from March-April and become less active from November onwards and attacks mostly unseasoned wood used in furniture articles like Beds, Dining tables, computer tables, wooden cabinets, etc.
