This Bulletin discusses beetles which attack timber. They belong to various families of the order Coleoptera of which four groups may be recognised – longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), pin-hole borers (Scolytidae and Platypodidae), powder-post beetles (Bostrychidae and Lyctidae) and furniture beetles (Anobiidae). The objective of this bulletin is to describe the insects and the damage done and to make suggestions regarding preventive and remedial measures.
