What are wood boring beetles?
A. They come in a variety of flavors. The primary kinds are softwood and hardwood beetles that bore small pin size holes into wood to lay their eggs. Once the eggs hatch it is the larva that damages the wood. You have some options here…Do nothing (ouch), fumigate the structure with a lethal gas (expensive), local chemical treatment (no guarantees), and/or replace the wood. Fortunately they are very small insects.
