Wood Borer & Silver Fish

The term ‘wood borer’ covers many types of wood boring beetles, some with wonderful names like Auger, Jewel, Stag and Pinhole Borers. But whatever they are called, you’ll want to say goodbye to them.

Here are some helpful facts about Wood Borers:

-> Adult beetles lay their eggs in cracks in wood. Outdoors this isn’t much of a problem, but inside your property they might infest floorboards, furniture, wooden beams and any other wooden objects.

-> Larvae burrow deep into the wood where they feed – and in the process make a maze of tunnels over several years.

One thing you can do to avoid termite damage is to have a termite inspection done at your home or office. Luckily, Arceneaux Pest provides a free termite inspection in Baton Rouge. But, other than taking us up on our free termite inspection, there are plenty of things you can do.
