What are wood destroying beetles?

Wood destroying or wood-boring beetles are insects that have the capability to destroy anything made of wood: from trees to furniture to the wooden structure of homes and buildings as well as the rotten wood in and around a property.  Common beetles found in Kansas and throughout our service area include flathead beetles, powder-post beetles, deathwatch or furniture beetles and long-horned beetles. 

Are they dangerous?

Wood-boring beetles do not pose any serious health risks although some species may bite if angered.  The real danger lies in their ability to severely infest and damage anything made of wood.

Spell? It should be "beetles". That said maybe Paul or Ringo can answer this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY5i4-rWh44
