Treating Common Furniture Beetle Infestations

Homeowners suspecting common furniture beetle activity, such as the evidence of 1/8” holes in wood and “frass”– sawdust piles created by common furniture beetle pupae boring through wood– are advised to contact a professional pest control company. Not common household pests, these wood boring insects require the attention of a trained and knowledgeable pest control company to determine which specific beetle species is infesting your home and to perform effective, eco-friendly IPM protocols. Commercially available pesticides may get rid of the adult common furniture beetles, but will not affect the other stages of beetles buried in your home’s wood.

Second only to termites, some wood boring beetles can cause as much damage, but the process is slower than with termites. Still, contacting trusted pest control professionals, such as Florida bug control can go a long way in eliminating common furniture beetles and preventing future infestations.
