These eggs become larvae, the wood worms, that burrow into the wood to feed, mostly from starch, which reduces the wood to powder-like consistency. Signs of woodworms can be detected mainly by the emergence or exit holes as soon as they reach adulthood and by the frass (wood bore dust) near the holes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hidden larvae cause most of the damage!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each beetle has a preference for a type of wood (hardwood or softwood), can attack sapwood and\/or heartwood and the size &amp; shape of the exit holes will help you to identify the beetle family and perform the best Powderpost beetle treatment.<\/p>\n<p>In Europe, the most common Wood destroying beetles infesting converted timber in buildings we deal with are from the genera ANOBIIDAE (Common furniture beetle), LYCTIDAE (Powder post beetles \u2013 Lyctus) and CERAMBYCIDAE (House longhorn beetle &#8211; hylotrupes bajulus).<\/p>\n<p>As the common names of woodworms could be different in your country, and Powderpost beetles can apply to different species, please check also the scientific name to make sure it is the wood boring insect you found in your built environment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1519186346490{margin-left: 0px !important;padding-left: 42px !important;}&#8221;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/dpEzWRHkadw&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;House longhorn beetle&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:30px|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;]<div class=\"rt-accordion element-one  \"  vc_custom_1529585080297 ><div class=\"rt-accordion-item\"><div class=\"rt-accordion-item-title\"><div class=\"rt-accordion-item-title-icon\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-down\"><\/i><\/div><h4 class=\"panel-title\">How to recognize a house longhorn beetle (Hylotrupes bajulus)?<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"rt-accordion-item-body\">The house longhorn beetle or old house borer from the Cerambycidae family is an insect whose larva lives exclusively in newly seasoned softwoods (timber frames, floors, etc\u2026).<\/p>\n<p>What does <em>Hylotrupes bajulus<\/em> woodworm look like?<\/p>\n<p>The house longhorn larva has a white \/ ivory color with a maximum length of 25mm.
