Question

controlling deathwatch beetles reading answers

Answer 1

A cardinal hurls itself

at my window all morning long,    

trying so hard to penetrate

its own reflection

I almost let it in myself,

though once I saw    

another red bird, crazed

by the walls of a room,    

spatter its feathers    

all over the house.

2.

My whole childhood is coming apart,    

the last stitches

about to be ripped out

with your death,

and I will be left—ridiculous,

to write

condolence letters

to myself.

3.

The deathwatch beetle

earned its name

not from its ugliness

or our terror

of insects

but simply because of the sound    

it makes, ticking.

4.

When your spirit

perfects itself,

will it escape

out of a nostril,

or through the spiral

passage of an ear?

Or is it even now battering    

against your thin skull, wild    

to get through, blood brother    

to this crimson bird?

Answer 2

Answer:

All of the creatures that wreak havoc on wood in structures are part of the natural process that transports deadwood to the forest floor, decomposes it into humus, and recycles the nutrients released back into trees. Each stage of this process need the proper habitat, and if we reproduce this in our structures, creatures from that stage of the cycle will infiltrate. After all, a fungus is nothing more than an extension of the forest floor.

Explanation:

The first thing to understand about deathwatch beetles in your building is that they have most likely been there for millennia and will continue to exist long after you have left. Insect destruction in oak timbers is a lengthy process, and if we slow it down by proper management, the beetle population may finally go extinct. The second reality is that natural predation will be beneficial to you.
