What is a Wood Borer?
Wood Borers are a group of seventy different species of woodboring beetles, are are reddish-brown to black in color with a cylinder-shaped body and typically range between 1/8 and 3/4 inches in length.  Woodboring insects, have distinctly visible heads and antennae with two-jointed clubs. Their primary foodsource are deciduous trees, which their boring reduces to powdery dust over time. They live inside wood they’ve bored holes into as larvae, being fed by the starch content within the wood as they grow.

Female beetles of these varieties commonly end up laying their eggs in the same bores they grew up in, so if they are able to nest and proliferate inside your home’s wooden framing, it can cause significant problems.

Are Wood Borers beetles dangerous?
They’re not dangerous in the sense that they will frequently bite or physically harm any humans they come in contact with, but the extent to which they can cause damage inside home structures is dangerous. They can infest a wide variety of wood but have been documented to especially prefer making their homes in frames, furniture, books, toys, flooring, and structural timbers.
