Are Lyctid beetles considered a threat to homes?

  1. Yes, they infest all wood types

  2. No, they only infest hardwoods

  3. Yes, they infest softwoods

  4. No, they don’t infest manufactured products

The correct answer is: No, they only infest hardwoods

Lyctid beetles are indeed a concern for homes, but they primarily infest hardwoods rather than all wood types. This specificity relates to their reproductive habits and the types of wood that provide the starches that their larvae require for development. Lyctid beetles typically attack wood from trees such as oak, hickory, and ash, which are all considered hardwoods. It’s important to understand that while they do not infest softwoods or manufactured products like plywood or particleboard, their presence in hardwood furniture, flooring, and structural wood can lead to significant damage if not addressed. Thus, recognizing their specific dietary requirements helps in identifying potential vulnerabilities in wooden structures within residences.
