These are the invaders:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wharf_borer I noticed these bugs last year around may so we had someone come out and spray the units and building. It helped a little but they are back this year. Turns out that pesticides are not the solution. At first I thought they were just harmless insects but it turns out these guys burrow into moist wood and lay their eggs. That is also why i'm posting in this group because i believe this is going to involve some repairing. I guess what i am trying to get at is how do we find these guys? Do i have to start tearing apart drywall and flooring till i find some moist / damp wood? Should i check around piping areas where leaks could be present and causing moisture in the wood framing? By the way the condo building is only 3 years old and is all brick on the outside. Any tips on how i can resolve this problem will be most appreciated. Regards, Sapo |
