What Wood Destroying Pests Are Lurking Around Your Home?

Wood destroying pests running amuck throughout your lawn can disrupt gardens and turf, and it can affect your lawn's appearance as well as your home's foundation negatively. With a wide array of possible culprits, pinpointing which wood-borer is wreaking havoc on your yard and home can be a bit difficult. This week, A B Pest Control & Insulation is providing information on 5 common wood destroying pests that could be wrecking your beautiful landscaping and invading your home.

Termites

Subterranean termites invade homes from the soil around and beneath the structure. Infestations occur when subterranean termite workers locate structural wood in contact with soil or when termites build shelter tubes from the soil across foundation walls and into structural wood. Subterranean termites may also gain access through cracks in the slab or seams where plumbing and electrical lines penetrate the concrete.

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants get their name from their habit of building nests in wood. Unlike termites, they do not feed upon wood but merely use it as a place to nest. They will build their nests in human structures and may cause significant structural damage.

Bark Beetles

While these pests typically aren't a concern for indoor structures, they do pose a threat to your lawn and garden. Bark beetles get their name from tunneling in the wood of woody trees and shrubs just below the bark. Exit holes in the bark where adult beetles have emerged often accompanied with sawdust generally indicate the presence of bark beetles. Because the temperatures are historically higher, bark beetles are surviving winters. In short, more beetles are surviving and going after stressed trees!

Powderpost Beetles

Powderpost Beetles love dried wood. That’s while you’ll find them in dead tree branches and other decaying wood. They can transfer their habitats to other nearby wood, which makes your antique dresser stored beside old wood piles or in a garage with old wood joists a prime spot of real estate for these sneaky bugs. Powderpost beetles also can find their way into lumber that is being cured — and then they emerge from the product that has been made using the lumber.

Carpenter Bees

Carpenter bees are often seen hovering near decks, eaves and gables of homes. Although carpenter bees attack many species of dried, seasoned wood, they seem to prefer softwoods such as pine, fir, redwood and cedar. They may damage porch and shed ceilings, railings, overhead trim, wooden porch furniture, dead tree limbs, fence posts, wooden shingles, wooden siding, windowsills and wooden doors. They prefer unpainted or well-weathered wood to painted or hardwood timbers.

Call a Pest Control Professional

Battling wood destroying pests can be an uphill battle. The best way to win is by using a professional pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks. If wood borers are not properly treated, their colonies could continue to grow, and that can cause serious property damage. Make sure these pests don't come into your home and call a professional.

A B Pest Control & Insulation can help you protect your home from all pests that affect Central Missouri from ants and spiders to termites and wasps and everything in between. Make sure pests don't ruin your home and lawn and contact a professional Lake of the Ozarks pest control company today.
