dendrite Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 So what do we have for native pine borers in northern/central New England? I can literally hear these things chewing away at logs inside my chicken run. Unfortunately one of them has made it up inside the fascia of my coop and there’s a continual stream of pine shavings raining down. What’s the likely culprit and what’s the best way to exterminate it? I have some spray permethrin and neem I could use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely powder post beetles, distantly related to Asian longhorned beetle but a native that rarely reaches outbreak proportions. Larvae make nice pencil-thick holes in wood.

Could carpenter ants be that loud too? I saw a few of those inch long ones today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis the season for winged ants. We've had carpenter ants at our place and never heard the chomping like that of the powder post beetles. (We got rid of the ants, for now, by placing little trays - margarine lids work great - filled with a borax/sugar mix. The ants come for the sugar but take both substances back to the nest and the borax does them in. Place the stuff with care - last year we found a dead mouse lying in one of the trays. If it can kill a mouse, it isn't safe for pets/kids.) Piles of spruce, fir or pine sitting in the July sun are often filled with sounds of chewing beetle larvae.

I dropped a big pine last summer and left the cut up remains out in the back. Some of those big cut pieces ended up in the run for places for the chooks to perch on. There's a couple logs in there now where I can hear the chomping. I guess one of those beetles migrated its way to my coop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a doe in the area later in the evening and assumed she was waiting for people to leave before getting the fawn and the fawn was gone in the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a model as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between accuracy and fiction, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the model of imagination.
