<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 4469770, member: 602"]The holes resemble to me....powder post beetles......rarely saw them...if ever..... but, they also never succeeded in taking down our 300 year old summer house!!! No, seriously, as I "remember", my Dad may have soaked the main beams in creosote over a winter outside, when the house was taken down for restoration, but it never COMPLETELY eliminated the beetles....you have a smaller item than beams in a house and should have better luck!! However, the creosote, may be a valid treatment.......wait for others to chime in....may also be a newer and better treatment!!!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>AND in case you're bored (bad pun), here's some Google reading!!!!</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=How+does+one+positively+get+rid+of+the+POWDERPOST+BEETLE%3F%3F" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=How+does+one+positively+get+rid+of+the+POWDERPOST+BEETLE%3F%3F" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=How+does+one+positively+get+rid+of+the+POWDERPOST+BEETLE??</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
