Bark beetles bore through the bark to eat the tasty nutrients in the inner bark known as the phloem and cambium layers. If they eat all the way around the tree, they will girdle the tree and the tree will die. Girdling cuts the trees food tubes and it will be unable to send nutrients up and down the trunk.

Bark beetles, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, termites and woodborers are pests that eat wood. Bark beetles eat between the bark and the wood of dying, injured or weakened trees, carpenter ants feed upon insulation materials and rotting or weakened wood in hollow trees, hollow-core doors and the spaces between a building's double walls, termites seek cellulose and woodborers tunnel into the solid wood of recently cut or weakened trees. Powderpost beetles represent the most serious problem since they turn wood into dust or fine powder.
