Default woodworm beetles

Just for the record. I believe these beetles often are already inside of
wood that is used in home construction. They are just waiting to grow up
and come out. They don't eat as adults, but the earlier stages bury into
and consume wood, often moist wood. They leave holes in the wood when
they tunnel out of it as adults. When they are active you can often find
sawdust like material near the holes; "chaff" or something its called. I
have some windows that I could hear noises emanating from certain months,
and I noticed birds and bees attracted to the windows. The first person I
had look into this didn't find anything---I was worried about termites
mostly. I finally figured it out (wordworm beetles) after determining the
holes were not machined (they are perfectly round and the same size as
other holes routed to hold screens etc.) and investigating online.



AND NOW, FOLKS.........A LITTLE DIDDY FOR YA ^@^

The Worms Crawl In,
The Worms Crawl Out,
Into yer arsehole,
And out your mouth.

They eat your dick,
They scramble your heart.
Now you feel like
Youre all apart.

This is how
It is to die
You end up looking
Like apple pie!
