Signs of Wood Borer Activity
Small Pinholes & Shot-Holes
Tiny, circular exit perforations (1–2 mm in diameter) appearing across polished or unpolished wooden surfaces.
Fine Powder & Frass Deposits
Talcum-like yellowish wood dust accumulating beneath furniture legs, inside cabinet drawers, and around exit holes.
Weakened or Brittle Timber
Wooden edges, veneers, or framing members that sound hollow, crumble under light pressure, or show surface sagging.
Internal Tunneling Activity
Concealed larvae feeding through the starch-rich sapwood layers, leaving intricate gallery networks inside timber.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the powder coming out of wooden furniture?
The fine powder (frass) is digested wood dust ejected by wood borer larvae as they tunnel through starch-rich sapwood and chew their way out as mature beetles.
How much does wood borer treatment cost in Bangalore?
Wood borer treatment at SLV Pest Control starts from ₹899. The exact cost depends on the number of affected furniture pieces, doorframes, structural timber areas, and the extent of active tunneling.
Can modular kitchen cabinets and doors be treated?
Yes. Suitable wooden materials—including solid wood doors, plywood carcasses, wardrobes, and window frames—can be treated using targeted injection and surface application techniques.
How does wood borer treatment differ from termite control?
Termites are social subterranean insects nesting in soil that build mud tubes and consume cellulose quickly. Wood borers are solitary beetle larvae that live and pupate entirely inside dry timber, leaving fine powder and small circular pinholes.
