What Are Carpenter Beetles and Why Should You Care?


Carpenter beetles might be small, but they can cause big problems. These wood-boring insects tunnel into wood to lay their eggs, and over time, that can lead to serious structural damage—especially in decks, beams, and furniture.

Unlike termites, carpenter beetles don’t eat wood—they simply dig through it. But the holes and sawdust they leave behind are a clear sign you’ve got a problem.

Spotting small, round exit holes or piles of fine wood shavings? It’s time to take a closer look. Early detection can save you costly repairs later on.
