Wood Borer
True powder post beetles are a group of wood boring beetles in the insect subfamily lyctidae and the false powder post beetles, the family bostrichidae. These, and other wood boring beetles Anobiidae(anobiid, Anobiumpunctatum(common furniture beetles), and death watch beetles), all fall in the super family bostrichoidea
The term "powder post" comes from the fact that the larvae of these beetles feed on wood and, given enough time, can reduce it to mass of fine powder. They are therefore considered pests. We recommended on an annual maintenance contract for all services.
