Signs you have them
- Wasp-like beetles coming out of indoor firewood
- Oval exit holes in logs
Why it matters
They don't attack sound, dry wood in the house. The ones in firewood are a nuisance.
How we treat it
Treatment of the firewood area and exterior. Moving firewood outdoors solves most indoor sightings.
Prevention
