Don’t Let Tiny Wood Destroyers Eat Away Your Big Investment: Protect Your Property from Powderpost Beetles with Town & Country Pest Solutions
Small invaders, big problems. Powderpost beetles are tiny terrors, silently boring through the wood in your home, causing unseen damage that can cost you dearly. Don’t let these silent excavators compromise the value and safety of your property.
Why are Powderpost Beetles Attracted to Your Home?
- Favorite Foods: These wood-loving insects feast on hardwoods like oak, maple, and walnut, often found in furniture, flooring, and old structural beams.
- Age & Moisture: Older homes with untreated wood and higher moisture levels are especially attractive to powderpost beetles. Wood moisture content should be 14% and below.

SPOT THE SIGNS BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE
Tiny Holes
Look for small, round exit holes about 1/16 inch in diameter, often accompanied by sawdust-like frass. These are their exit holes.
Identifying If They Are Active
Clean up any old sawdust frass and place cardboard, black garbage bags, or something clean to see if any new frass falls onto the area below. If so, you still have an issue.
Weak & Crumbling Wood
Damaged wood may sound hollow or crumble when touched, indicating extensive tunneling.
Unexplained Sounds
Listen for ticking or clicking sounds, which may be the beetles chewing through your walls
