\n

The spindle is an xylophageal insect,<\/strong> as are termites and capricorns in houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adult spinrette in Quebec measures between 2 and 5mm. It is identifiable by its elongated and cylindrical body, as well as by its reddish brown color. With the hairy pronotum<\/strong> (part of the prothorax) covering its eyes and the base of its antennae, it is almost impossible to spot it. Larvae are usually 4 to 5 mm long.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Life cycle of this furniture and framing pest<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How to reproduce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The little spin is active from spring until September. It is during this period that the signs of infestation are visible.<\/strong> In adulthood, the little beetle no longer needs to feed, it devotes its short existence to the reproduction of the species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Development stage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The female lays 20 to 200 eggs (depending on the species).
Their incubation period is about 2 weeks. Some species of spinrs spread their larval development for up to 10 years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as it hatches, the larva, which ranges in colour from yellowish white to beaded white, is embedded in the wood to feed on it. As an adulthood is reached, the domestic beetle<\/strong> makes its way to the outside by drilling a hole and takes flight. The lifespan of this xylophage is estimated at four weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The little adult spinring lives in groups, as this facilitates its mating. It feeds mainly on the soft parts of the woodworked, especially the old furniture. In case of infestation by lignivorous fungi<\/strong> (in case of excess moisture), nitrogen-rich rots will be favorable to the development of the insect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
