Powder post beetle

6614.    I live near Lloydminster Alberta in old house I think 1946 or older , I discovered several beetles all over the floor, counters etc . They are around 3 mm long, if touch them they seem to freeze. It is July is hot humid here, more rain than usual I think. I thought may be they are powderpost beetle or plaster beetle, not sure they are reddish brown. One picture I didn’t send because too much data, the antenna got three segments. Soon as receive an answer possible I will attack them. Soon I will renovate, gut my house remove the plaster and wood chip for insulation.

 

Number 6614. This beetle does not look like a typical powder post beetle and it definitely is not a plaster (foreign grain) beetle. If you have powder post beetles, you should see the typical damage. Click here for some images.
