Stephan,

Thank you. I’ve not heard of electro-physical microwaves-treatment.

 

Best wishes

Terry

Subject: AW: [PestList] Death Watch Beetle?

 

Hi Terry,

 

for me, it looks like the Death Watch Beetle Xestobium rufovillosum, who could 
infest timbers of old buildings. Sometimes it is difficult, to find the exit 
holes of the beetles on the wooden surfaces, like floor or walls.  

 

You have to look for damp timbers affected by fungal decay with the help of an 
expert for wood boring beetles.   

Useful methods could be an electro-physically microwaves-treatment or 
warm-air-treatment from specialized companies. Warm air treatment of rooms or 
buildings could offered from “Thermo Lignum” U.K. 

 

Best from Germany

Betreff: [PestList] Death Watch Beetle?

 

Hello,

I am new and this forum was recommended to me. I help to run a small museum in 
Rayleigh, Essex, UK. I have found what I believe is a Death Watch Beetle. 
Please see pictures. Can someone please confirm?  

Our building is a grade 2 listed building and one of the rooms is dated c1350. 
Unfortunately at sometime builders used an inappropriate paint/varnish on the 
beams. Should this be a Death Watch Beetle, any suggestions on possible 
treatment would be very useful.

 

Best wishes

Terry Joyce
