Powderpost Beetles Removal in Toronto, Durham & York Region

Powderpost Beetles are one of the most common calls we get across the GTA. Powderpost beetles bore into hardwood — furniture, flooring, and structural framing — leaving small round exit holes and a fine, powdery frass behind.

Why it matters:

Because the larvae feed inside the wood for months before emerging, damage is often more advanced than it looks from the surface by the time it’s discovered.

Our approach:

We inspect affected wood to gauge how active and extensive the infestation is, apply borate treatments to stop larvae in place, and recommend fumigation for severe cases. Every visit starts with a full inspection and a clear explanation of what we find, backed by a satisfaction guarantee and 24/7 emergency response for urgent situations. We serve homes and businesses across Toronto, Durham Region, and York Region — including Scarborough, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and the surrounding communities. Call (647) 945-9602 for a free inspection.

Signs of a Powderpost Beetle Infestation

If you notice the following signs, your home may have a powderpost beetle infestation:

  • Fine Powdery Dust: Powderpost beetles leave a fine, powder-like dust around holes they have bored into wood surfaces. This is often the first sign of an infestation.
  • Holes in Wooden Surfaces: These beetles create small, round holes in wood, typically less than 1/8 inch in diameter.
  • Wood Damage: Over time, the tunnels created by the beetles can weaken wooden structures and furniture. You may notice flaking or crumbling wood.
  • Larvae or Adult Beetles: Adult powderpost beetles are small, reddish-brown insects. Larvae, which are white or cream-colored, burrow into the wood.
