Is the treatment for wood destroying beetles safe?
Preventing powderpost beetles is extremely hard to accomplish due to their elusive nature and ability to inhabit hardwood furniture and lumber without the owner knowing. Certain things like making sure uninfested wood is sanded and varnished is critical because treated hardwood will not normally be attacked by the adult beetles looking for crevices in wood surfaces to deposit their eggs. It is also helpful to not store antiques and furniture in outbuildings like barns because these types of structures are usually old and infested with powederpost beetles already but contacting Assured Environments at the first sign of a powderpost beetle infestation is your best course of action.
