I am pretty sure I have powder post beetles in my couch. What is the best way to get rid of them without damaging the fabric.
This is a tough one. No doubt fumigation would be the "cleanest" method. But as our POWDERPOST BEETLE CONTROL article explains, this is very expensive and generally not a viable option since it will cost thousands of dollars. Fortunately BORACARE can handle the problem fine if you have access to all the wood framing of the couch. Another product known as JECTA GEL can also be used. Since the Boracare is usually more thorough and faster acting, we like to use it whenever possible but using it in tandem with Jecta Gel will provide just as good of results. The real key is getting uniform coverage and just how much of the wood used in the couch you'll have access to will determine if Boracare alone can tackle the problem or if Jecta Gel will be needed as well.

Thank-you so much for all your information it has helped so much.
We had a guy come from Orkin today to check for us. We had notice holes in our dresser. And my husband went under the house and he also saw some holes.
The guy said it would cost 4,000 they put a tent up and heat up the hole house.
The problem is we just had the house painted 1 month ago. And the man said it would ruin the paint job need to wait 5 months.
I talked to a guy from Hawaiian and he told me they shot the holes up with WD-40 and it kills the Borer Beetle and eggs.
We are open to anything that would help and that we can buy and do ourselves.
Thank-you, H.
