Is it true or false that Anobiidae can re-infest wood?

Anobiidae, commonly known as woodboring beetles, are indeed capable of re-infesting wood. This characteristic stems from their life cycle, where adult beetles emerge from infested wood and can lay eggs in new, or even previously infested, wood. The larvae that hatch from these eggs will then burrow into the wood, continuing the cycle of infestation. This ability to reinfest wood can lead to significant damage in structures and furniture, as even previously treated or seemingly unaffected wood can become targets for new infestations.

In regard to the context provided by the other choices, it is important to note that the reinfestation does not strictly depend on conditions being damp or the wood being unsealed. While moisture can promote conducive environments for beetle activity and development, Anobiidae are able to infest a variety of wood types under different conditions. This adaptability further underscores the potential for ongoing infestations, highlighting the need for vigilant monitoring and proper pest management strategies.
