Wood boring pest, need identification help
Comments (12)I have seen cane borers. Would earwings eat (or live in the holes left by) cane borers? Would cane borers be in lilacs, hydrangeas, and forsythias? I have been doing some googling, and it seems like a bark application of either imidacloprid next spring, or dinotefuran now (or next spring), both mixed with pentra-bark, would kill all the possible problem insects AND be safe for my CATS (both are used in topical flea control for cats, so it seems like it would be relatively safe). In addition to some heavy pruning back next spring (reluctantly, but I know it's necessary) is this the best option for killing all possible wood borers plus the earwigs hiding in their holes? AND SAFE FOR MY CATS? Then what would be the best option for spraying around the foundation of the house to keep the earwigs out of the house that would be safe for the cats once it is dried? Would it be unsafe to let the cats out if it rains days after the application, would re-wetting cause it to be a problem? Is there anything for killing borers and earwigs that is recommended higher for use in areas where cat toxicity is a concern?...See MoreIdentification of Wooden Chair

Comments (3)Since things that look very like that lamp are still being made, I would try to asess the working parts of it. The plug looks like it could be from the 1920's at the earliest....unless it has been replaced or switched. Is the cord cloth or plastic coated wire? That also could be a clue...unless it has been replaced. The style of the lamp looks like it could be sort of "Flapper" style...early 1930's or late 20's. Does the socket for the bulb give any hints?
