We have just an ordinary deep freezer.  It would fit but I don't know if that's 
cold enough.

Do you have a pharma grade freezer? If so would it fit?

Thank you to those who've given information on this infestation.

I have just come across this article about Anobium punctatum 
http://www.buildingconservation.com/articles/woodworm/woodworm.htm   which 
states:
Woodworm: Anobium Punctatum - The 
Building<http://www.buildingconservation.com/articles/woodworm/woodworm.htm>
www.buildingconservation.com<http://www.buildingconservation.com>
A practical guide to woodworm infestation and its eradication by building 
pathologist and environmental scientist Tim Hutton



The deposition of quantities of fresh gritty frass from the emergence holes may 
sometimes indicate active infection. However, frass may often be found coming 
out of emergence holes in previously affected timbers many years after active 
infection has ceased. This may be due to vibration caused by heavy traffic on 
adjacent roads or building works elsewhere on the structure. Again, the 
appearance of freshly deposited frass around emergence holes has often been the 
justification for extensive remedial treatments in the past, even when the 
infection by Anobium punctatum has been dead or inactive for many years.

This makes me wonder if, instead of seeing an active infestation, we are seeing 
frass and dead insects shaken out of the wood during transit from Italy which 
come from a previous, now infactive infestation.  Attached are pictures of the 
frass.  In the picture of the greyish wooden door you see frass at the bottom 
right (In the second photo I've circled areas of frass in yellow) while the 
other photo shows frass deposited on the crate itself.  I have already made 
tentative arrangements to have this crate and its contents treated with CO2 
next week, but given that the treatment is expensive, should I do further 
investigation in an attempt to find out if the infestation is active?  Or 
should I just play it safe and have the treatment done ASAP?  Of course we 
don't want to take any risk of an active infestation continuing and of the 
insects travelling throughout our storage areas. And since these insects have a 
long life cycle, even if the frass is old, how would I know there are not eggs 
inside, waiting to hatch and do more damage?

Here is what the article says about identifying an active infestation:

Searching for live Anobium punctatum larvae within timber is generally 
destructive, and surprisingly few larvae may actually be found. It is possible 
to use highly sensitive piezoelectric microphones embedded in the timbers to 
monitor activity, but this is not yet the basis of an effective diagnostic 
technique for use in the field. Similarly, it is possible to identify recently 
produced frass using immunological or genetic techniques. Again, this is not 
yet the basis of a cost-effective field identification technique.
In practical terms, the likelihood of significant Anobium punctatum infection 
is relatively easy to assess, in that if the deep moisture content of the 
timber is below 12 per cent, it is too dry for infection and decay to occur, 
while if the moisture content is between approximately 16 and 30 per cent it is 
possible, even if infection and decay is not present at the time of

Karen -
 
Many years ago, I had the same kind of infestation in the frames of old 
paintings shipped from Florence to the Italian Consulate here in Philadelphia.  
I've also run into them - a large infestation of"bookworms" in a library in 
Israel.  Anobium punctatum is a fairly common wood-boring beetle in Europe.  
I've run into it only once here in the U.S. - an infestation in a bedroom floor 
of an historic building in Newport, R.I.

We have just received a shipment of drawings and on opening the crate we

Beneath the layers of drawings is an old wooden architectural fragment that the

Anobiidae, possibly Oligomerus. Can you tell us what length the beetles are?

We have just received a shipment of drawings and on opening the crate we 
discovered several dead specimens of the beetle shown in the attached photos.  
Beneath the layers of drawings is an old wooden architectural fragment that the 
beetles have been tunnelling through with great enthusiasm.  There are huge 
amounts of frass.

We sealed the wrapped the crate in plastic sheeting , and plan to have it 
treated by anoxia with CO2.

What kind of beetle is this?  We don't have a lot of experience with 
wood-boring insects.

Thanks for your help.

yup , i agree with you. This shape not belongs to Lasioderma which increase the 
probability of being Stegobium. The wooden object might be contain stored 
products (grains).

True. Lasioderma have shorter bodies than one pictured here. Elytra would be 
more shiny in addition to the setae Tom mentions.  Head also would be 
relatively larger in Lasioderma compared to Stegobium. This one has the body 
shape of Stegobium and not Lasioderma..

It is NOT a cigarette beetle.  Cigarette beetles are almost round in outline 
and have golden hairs on their elytra.

Hi Cory

It looks like a cigarette beetle (Lasioderma serricorne) to me. Was the wooden 
object associated with food (e.g. grain bins)? We have found cigarette beetles 
on wooden Aboriginal food carriers (coolimons) where food residue had 
penetrated 
the timber.

Best wishes

 Hi all,
 
 These were found infesting a wooden object and they don't seem the usual 
suspects (anobium, powderpost, etc)  Any ID help would be appreciated.
