Bark beetles, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, termites and woodborers are pests that eat wood. Bark beetles eat between the bark and the wood of dying, injured or weakened trees, carpenter ants feed upon insulation materials and rotting or weakened wood in hollow trees, hollow-core doors and the spaces between a building's double walls, termites seek cellulose and woodborers tunnel into the solid wood of recently cut or weakened trees. Powderpost beetles represent the most serious problem since they turn wood into dust or fine powder.
