Furniture Beetles
In the United Kingdom, you're most likely to find the furniture beetle infesting homes and businesses, attacking joists, floorboards, furniture, and other wood. Furniture Beetles are a type of woodworm. They are usually identified by small holes on the surface of the timber of approximately 1.5 to 2 mm diameter or else the bore dust left behind. Bore dust feels gritty when rubbed between the fingers, and if you take a magnifying glass, it will look like oval pellets.
