Woodboring beetles are a group of insects known for their ability to tunnel into and damage wood. They belong to various families, including Buprestidae and Cerambycidae, and their larvae feed on the cellulose in wood, which can weaken structures like furniture and buildings.
These beetles typically lay their eggs in or on wood, and once the larvae hatch, they burrow into the material. Infestations can be identified by small exit holes and fine sawdust, known as frass, around the affected area. Proper identification and treatment are essential to manage woodboring beetle damage effectively.
