Weevils Emerging from Custom Wood Furniture: End of Cycle

Dead weevils in new teak/mahogany/ebony drawers, one live in bathroom. Cabinet maker clueless. Porcelain floors—no source visible.

Explanation: Wood-Boring Weevils

• Larvae bored in logs before milling.
• Life cycle completed in finished furniture (adults emerge).
• Cannot reinfest — wood too dry for eggs.
• Common in tropical hardwoods (teak, mahogany).

What to Expect

• More may emerge over ~1 month (staggered emergence).
• Then stops permanently.
• Emergence holes visible in wood.

Action

• Notify maker (documentation for future claims).
• Vacuum emerging adults.
• No treatment needed.
• Wood not sub-standard—just had larvae.

One-time event. Furniture fine long-term.
