Termites & Wood Pests · Austin, Texas
Bark Beetles
Small, dark, cylindrical beetles. The tunnels they carve under the bark look like engravings.

Signs you have them
- Tiny holes and sawdust on trunks
- Pitch tubes on pines
- Beetles coming out of stored firewood
Why it matters
They can kill stressed trees. The ones in firewood don't infest the house structure.
How we treat it
Treatment of firewood storage areas and the house perimeter. For tree health, we'll recommend an arborist.
Prevention
- Store firewood off the ground and away from the house
- Burn firewood the season you buy it
- Water trees deeply during drought
