Default Powder Post Beetles!!! Help!

"77clearly" wrote in message

Does anyone know of any pesticides I can use? Where to get them? Who to
call?
HELP!


Your local pest control company, for both certain identification and
treatment, if necessary (it could be an old infestation and the moisture
content low enough for them to have moved on).

500bf of walnut should be worth spending a few buck on, but be prepared to
tent and fumigate a stack if the infestation is indeed current.

As far as the holes ... once the critters are gone, the holes add a certain
"cachet" to the wood, IMO.
