The Common Wood-Destroying Insects Of Wallingford, CT
Here in Connecticut Pest Elimination, we contend with a variety of destructive pests. However, there is a distinct sub-category of these pests that you should keep an eye out for: wood-destroying insects. These destructive pests will cause damage to the wood of your home or business that are often not covered by insurance and are costly to repair.
- Subterranean Termites - Considered one of the most destructive and problematic pests in the United States, termites are responsible for over $5 billion dollars worth of structural damage every year by feeding on the structural beams of homes and businesses. Commonly referred to as "silent invaders", these sneaky pests stay out of sight and can eat away at the structural wood of your home or business for months or even years without you noticing, making them especially dangerous pests to contend with.
- Carpenter Ants - Though not as destructive as termites, carpenter ants can still cause major problems for home and business owners, and if left unchecked, can cause extensive damage to the wood of your property that will be costly to repair. Though they don't actually eat the wood, they do tunnel through it to create nests or galleries inside.
- Carpenter Bees - These bees get their name from their habit of boring holes into wood; carpenter bees don't actually feed on wood, but instead drill circular holes into structures to create tunnels and nests inside. Unlike other common bee species, carpenter bees are not social insects and build individual nests. You're likely to find these nests in trees or in the frames, eaves, or sides of buildings. These bees will also reinfest the same structure year after year, so even if it looks like they're gone, it's only a matter of time.
- Powderpost Beetles - Accurately named for their ability to turn wood into a fine, dust-like powder, powderpost beetles have been known to invade both softwood and hardwood structures. These beetles, or more specifically, their larvae, can cause significant structural damage to properties as they eat away at the wood of your home (flooring, structural beams, wood trim, etc.) while they develop. Once mature, they'll tunnel out of the wood, creating round exit holes, and start the vicious cycle all over again. If left untreated, a powderpost beetle infestation can go on for several generations, leading to extensive damage and weakened or compromised structural integrity.
