A survey of wood-infesting beetles found in structures in Florida began in January 2004. Pest control industry professionals and county extension agents were asked to send in any specimens of beetles they collected or received. Specimens were identified to species and information on location, item that was infested, and where the item came from was collected. The most commonly received beetles were from the family Bostrichidae of which the majority were from the sub-family Lyctinae. Of these, a significant number were non-endemic, though cosmopolitan, species: Lyctus africanus and Minthea rugicollis. Statistics from the U.S. Department of Commerce indicate that a dramatic increase in the importation of wood products from southeast Asia, especially China, may explain the increase in infestations of exotic beetle species in Florida within the last few years.
