Common types of wood bugs found in homes include powderpost beetles, termites, and carpenter ants. Powderpost beetles are small, reddish-brown insects that leave tiny holes in wood surfaces. Termites are pale insects that create mud tubes and tunnels in wood. Carpenter ants are large, black ants that tunnel through wood to build nests. To identify wood bugs, look for signs of damage such as holes, sawdust-like frass, or mud tubes. To control wood bugs, it is important to address any moisture issues, seal cracks and crevices, and remove any damaged wood. Professional pest control may be necessary for severe infestations.
