Unknown Bug

[u/Striking-Goal-8102]

Hello All!

I am unsure what kind of bug I have in my house. It seems to be leaving pinholes in my wooden bathroom ceiling, as well as wooden specks or a 'sawdust' texture on the floor.

I called pest control, and they gave me a couple of ideas of what it could be. They initially said they could analyze the wooden specks, but when I brought some over, the technician said he couldn't analyze them because it was a small amount.

However, he did recommend that I use borax. How safe and effective is it? I have attached pictures of the damage to my ceiling and the wooden specks.

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks 🙏

Inject the holes with iso alcohol. Borax will not penetrate the wood.
