  • Powder post beetles

    These are emerging holes from a adult powder post beetle in case u guys have ever seen these little holes in ur crawl space or basement beams. They eat the cellulose of they wood because they can't process any other type of carbohydrate. So if u see these holes with saw dust coming out call ur bug guy they do more damage than termites

      If you get a good commercial grade dehumidifier and keep the moisture level in the wood between 10-14% they can't eat the pulp
