Anobium borers like softwood timbers like baltic pine. This borer is commonly known as the "furniture beetle". The Anobium borer can not only hurt furniture but can do tremendous damage to Baltic pine flooring.

I believe the insects you speak of are called pine caterpillars. They usually feed on all sorts of pine and can prevent the pine from revealing its true beauty. Use a horticultural spray for prevention.

It is the Anobium borer, or furniture beetle. They will damage Baltic pine floors especially in old homes where the sub-flooring is not ventilated properly and causes dampness.

Anobium borers. They are identfied by the tiny holes they make in wood, and the dust that comes out of them. They are particularly attracted to damp flooring found in older houses due to poor ventilation of the flooring. Insecticide will usually get rid of these pests, but in severe cases you'll need to completely replace the wood.

Anobium borers attack and eat baltic pine. These borers are sometimes referred to as furniture beetles. They can cause massive damage especially to baltic flooring. If flooring is damp or there is a poor ventilation problem, this will cause anobium boreres to strike. They will also eat thru baltic type furniture.

Anorium borers, also called furniture beetles usually eat at wood flooring made of baltic pine that is really old and wet.
