We have pecky cypress (with whitewash stain) that has been in our house for about 20 years now. I noticed large holes in it, no sawdust around, but it is disentergrating. Was told by a professional that if it was bugs we'd see sawdust. I still believe it could be some type of beetle eating away. Any idea? We do bring in firewood for our fireplace. I've noticed holes in the firewood. Should I use Boracare?

I have a 70 yr old home with original wood floors. I live in central FL. Recently I have noticed long marks that look like deep scratches. Some of them are quite deep and about 1/8 – 1/4 inch wide and 3 or 4 inches long. In certain areas the damage is getting worse pretty fast. I have lived here for 8 years and this has just been going on for about 6 months. I have dogs and thought at first that their nails were damaging the floor.
I have asked my termite place about it but have not gotten a satisfactory answer.
Any and all suggestions for what it can be and how to treat it will be accepted.
