Biology
Importance
A serious pest if not dealt with. Polished woods are not normally attacked but even the best furniture has exposed joints in and around its frame. It is common for the wild populations outside of the home to venture indoors during the spring, moving from tree trunks and fence posts to roof timbers. The wooden windows and door frames of older buildings are also prone to attack and after many years of infestation even substantial roofing timbers may become seriously weakened.
