A colleague who lives in Caledonia, brought in some skeletonised wood from
her home last week. We could not find any wood boring insects in the pieces
she brought in, but I thought I would submit this mystery to the masses.
The holes are very tiny (see photos), quite unlike those of carpenter ants,
and the sawdust is exceedingly fine. Most alarmingly, she has had to
replace the wooden support posts in her basement (now made of steel), and
tells me that this same beast is now chewing its way through her hardwood
floors upstairs. She is guessing that it is in other supporting structures
of her home. Ykes.
Anyone have any ideas? Photos taken as best I could. I suspect her home
will require some sort of treatment.

Many thanks in advance.
