what insect(s) cause tiny wood curls/shavings?
I opened some wooden drawers that have not been opened for years and the underside of the top had some small scratches, and it was evident this had been caused by an insect as there was several tiny wood shavings within the drawer. No evidence of holes or anything living, just the scratches within the varnish layer and the wood shavings.
Not been able to identify the cause as most wood eating insects seem to create sawdust instead of the small wood shavings.
I have given it a thorough hoover and sprayed it - in the hope that will resolve the issue.
Wondered if it could be moth and/or larvae related?
Any clues would be appreciated.
