Powderpost beetles are among the types of beetles that can destroy the wood in your home or business. These beetles were built for attacking wood by penetrating the wood with their long, narrow, flat bodies. They lay their eggs in cracks of wood and the larvae tunnel into the surface, filling it with a very fine powder-like dust. The adults are very active at night, enjoy flying and are attracted to the light.

Powderpost beetles often attack hardwoods, and can be found in hardwood floors, timbers and crates, antiques and other objects made of hardwood materials.

Shockingly, some researchers believe that powderpost beetles are second only to Drywood termites in the United States in their destructiveness to wood and wood products.
