Overview

Wood borers are insects that damage wooden structures and furniture by boring holes and creating tunnels as they lay eggs and their larvae feed on the wood.
Diseases : Allergic Reactions , Fungal Infections, Anxiety

Signs of Infestation

• Tiny Exit Holes : Small, round or oval holes on wooden surfaces, often the size of a pinhead.
• Frass (Powdery Dust) : Fine, sawdust-like material around infested areas, which is actually the excrement of larvae.
• Weak or Hollow Wood : Wood that sounds hollow when tapped or shows signs of structural weakness.
• Visible Larvae : Creamy-white larvae emerging from the wood.
• Cracked Wood with Eggs : Presence of cracks filled with eggs or larvae inside.

• Damage Caused :
• Structural Damage: Weakening of wooden beams, floorboards, and furniture, potentially leading to structural failures.
• Aesthetic Damage: Unsightly holes and tunnels marring the appearance of wooden items.
• Financial Impact: Costly repairs and replacements of damaged wood.

Prevention Tips

• Inspect Regularly : Frequently inspect wooden furniture, doors, beams, and flooring for signs of borers, such as small exit holes, frass (fine powdery wood dust), or discolored wood.
• Use Treated Wood : Opt for pre-treated or pressure-treated wood during construction or furniture making to repel borers
• Seal Cracks and Holes : Fill cracks, crevices, and any exposed holes in wood with wood filler or sealants to prevent borers from laying eggs.
• Keep Wood Dry : Maintain low humidity in indoor spaces, as borers thrive in moist wood.
• Apply Wood Preservatives : Use borate-based wood preservatives or anti-borer sprays to protect vulnerable wood from infestation.
