European House Borer (EHB) is a serious pest of untreated dry softwood, including pinewood. Without appropriate action, EHB has the potential to infest homes built with untreated pinewood structural timber. As of January 2011, EHB has been found only in the Perth metropolitan area, with the exception of one find in Albany. EHB infestation has been discovered in one Perth home. EHB was first detected in Western Australia in 2004.
