How to identify old house borer
A long-horned wood-boring beetle whose larvae tunnel extensively through structural softwood, sometimes producing an audible chewing sound within walls.
What a pest pro would do
- Inspect to identify the beetle and its source — stored food, fabric, or structural wood.
- Treat harborage and entry points with professional materials; wood-boring beetles get a treatment matched to the species.
- Remove or protect infested materials and seal entry points.
- Re-inspect to confirm the source is gone.
