Insects like beetles, termites or marine boars eat wood, make holes and weaken the strength of the wood.
Beetles are small insects that make holes in almost all the sapwoods. The larvae make tunnels through the sapwood in all directions and turn wood into powder.
Termites live in a colony. They are very fast in eating woods and making tunnels through it. Only a few good kinds of wood can withstand the action of termites.
Marine boars are found in salt water. Usually, they make tunnels in wood to take refuge or shelter. All kinds of wood or timber are vulnerable to this kind of insect.
