The wood dust is very fine and rat her like talc (see p. 125). Powder post beetle exit-holes in timber Powder post beetles The exit-holes have a diameter of 0-1.5 mm. The larvae most frequently occur in the sapwood of oak, but may also be found in various exotie de…

…the wood itself is of a cosmetic nature. The problem arises if you use bark-edged wood of one kind or another directly with lead or cardboard. Because here the holes can cause water infiltration, which can ultimately result in an increased risk that the wood may be attacked by fungus or rot. Prevention and pest control In most cases, it is not necessary to set heaven and earth in motion to combat the soft wood boring beetle, as most attacks from t…

…t way to prevent an attack from the brown wood buck is by making sure that wood and woodwork are not affected by moisture damage. Therefore, it is advantageous to ensure good ventilation in areas where the wood may be vulnerable to moisture and thus also to attack by the brown wood buck. A good way to get rid of the beetles and larvae is by drying out the tree in question. If the wood dries out, they cannot survive. It can also be considered to tr…

…commended that the preservative is either painted or sprayed directly on the infested wood. It may be necessary to drill smaller holes in the wood in the case of dense timber. For the best result, fill the holes with the liquid. If it is necessary to replace the damaged woodwork, the new inserted wood must be treated first. An advantage is pretreated wood, but you can also soak the wood, paint or spray an approved agent against wood pest on the re…

…ce wise, the rice weevil is like the grain snout beetle. However, the rice weevil is smaller. A rice weevil is in average 2.5 to 3.5 mm long so there is not talk of a very large beetle. It may also look like a corn snout beetle, as the two species, at first glance appears almost identical. A rice weevil has four red spots on the coverts. The hind and front body are more even in size than with other beetle species, which tend to have a larger hind…

…for protection against house bucks and borer beetles. Be aware that surface-treated wood such as lacquered and painted wood does not have the ability to absorb the agent sufficiently. This is because the protective agent can only be sucked up through the fly holes. In such cases, you must repeat the treatment several times – or resort to other control methods. Another method of control is heat treatment. Here it is important that the wood can with…

…se liquid wood preservatives as these agents have little effect on this species. You can however use heat treatment for control. The wood must be heated up to 75 degrees for minimum eight hours or dried, so the humidity drops below 14%. Treated wood will never be attacked by wood wasp larvae. Wood wasps does have a negative impact on forestry, which is why there are import restrictions of conifers in Australia, to avid infested wood. The export of…

…, as the heat makes it easier for them to get around. Appearance The grain weevil is 2.5-5 millimeters long when fully grown. Since the grain weevil is a type of beetle called a snout beetle, its head has the special, thin “snout”. However, this is not as such a nose or snout, but simply the shape of its head. This snout also looks like a horn. Grain weevil also change color during their lifetime. Like larvae, they are pale and wrinkled, although…

…is placed in the cavities of the wood or disposed of through holes in the wood, the so-called windows. The Hercules ants are most active at night. Therefore, it is not unheard of that one does not see much of them, even though there is an anthill near the home. They feed mainly on insects and other similar small animals, but also like to consume sweet plant juices. Damage The Hercules ants usually settle mainly in holiday homes in North Jutland a…

…hat it may be necessary to replace the wood.  Here it can be an advantage to use pressure impregnated wood. Action should also be taken to reduce the humidity in the room so that the wood is less vulnerable to new attacks. This can be done by repairing leaks, by improving ventilation in the room or by increasing drainage….

…place the wood with treated wood, such as pressure-impregnated timber. However, it is also possible to treat the wood with a wood preservative that protects the wood from both insect and fungal attacks. In hard-to-reach areas, it can be an advantage to treat with an insect powder that is distributed on the areas where the beetle moves. It will kill the beetles before they have time to lay their eggs….

…Among pests, we also find the woodworm, which lives in different types of wood. The woodworm is also known as the common wood boring beetle (Anobium Punctatum). Appearance Typically, the woodworm is characterized by its brown shell with dotted stripes on the cover wings. Their size is typically 3-5 mm. Traces of the woodworm are often found in older houses as well as outdoors, where it lives in wooden fences, dead trees, and other types of soft w…

Prevention and pest control If you want to avoid an attack from violet tanbark beetle in conifers, you should use debarked planks. It is rarely necessary to control this pest, as the attack will die out by itself, when the layer between the bark and wood is eaten. I…

…ne of the rarities that a new attack is underway. Unless the house has had new woodwork installed in connection with repairs. Prevention and pest control The control of the house longhorn beetle can be a difficult undertaking, as it is the larvae that make up the largest part of the population. And since they are inside the woodwork, they can be hard to come by to fight. However, it is recommended to use heat that can penetrate the wood or use a l…

…severely weakened. The common woodboring beetle can settle in all types of wood and woodwork, but it is especially soft woods as well as Masonite and plywood that the woodboring beetle prefers. Fortunately, beetle larval development is slow, so there is a high probability that you can fight them before they do too much damage and the woodwork is weakened. Prevention and pest control The common woodboring beetle thrived best in high humidity. There…

…nearby woodwork should be treated with a liquid wood preservative against wood-destroying insects. All holes near the nest should also be dusted with an insect repellent. Unfortunately, ordinary bait cans and poison paint have no effect on the yellow shadow ant, so it can be a difficult task to try to fight the ants. At the same time, it often requires that one is forced to break the floor up. The yellow shadow ant does normally not move inside t…
