What are Powderpost Beetles?
Powderpost beetles are wood-boring insects that infest and damage wooden structures, furniture, and other wood products. They get their name from the fine, powder-like dust (frass) they leave behind after tunneling through wood. These beetles can weaken wood over time, making them a serious concern for homeowners and businesses with wooden elements.
