Wood borers are beetles that burrow into wood and feed on the timber. They lay their eggs inside of wood, which hatch into voracious woodworms. These larvae burrow through the wood as they eat and grow, eventually reaching adulthood. The adult beetles then fly away in search of more wood, starting the cycle anew.
While borers usually pick trees to burrow into, they can also attack any wooden furniture in your property, with a particular fondness for antique wooden furniture. Adult borers that burrow into furniture may lay eggs into the opening; typically, the woodworms cause much more damage than the adult borers. While you might spot adult borers in your home, woodworms are difficult to detect until they reach adulthood and exit the furniture, leaving behind noticeable exit holes and frass (insect waste).

There are several common species of wood borers in Australia, but they share many commonalities in terms of behaviour. The adults are most active in the warmer summer months, searching for wood to infest. Unlike termites, who specifically target damp wood, borers are much less picky, though damp wood is easier to burrow through too.
Softwood is the prime target for wood borers, especially pine wood or trees. Some species can easily burrow through hardwood as well, however. Hardwood is usually lower in starch content, however, which makes them less ideal for borers to lay eggs in, so they may be safer from infestation.
