What shape and size are the exit holes made by Lyctid beetles?

Oval, 1/4-3/8
Round, 1/32-1/16
Round, 1/16-1/8
Round, 1/8-3/8

The correct answer is: Round, 1/32-1/16

Lyctid beetles create exit holes that are specifically described as round and typically measure between 1/32 and 1/16 inches in diameter. This size and shape are significant because they differentiate the damage caused by Lyctid beetles from other types of wood-boring insects. Understanding these characteristics helps in identifying the type of infestation and determining the appropriate treatment or preventive measures needed to deal with these pests. The round shape is notably distinct from other wood-boring beetles that may produce oval or larger holes, allowing for more precise identification for pest control efforts.
