I bought a new house in FL. It's less than a year old.

Bought 15K of new furniture from a local furniture store. A couple of the drawers had what looked like sawdust when it was delivered in January so I just vacuumed it out.

A few weeks later I opened the drawer again and to my surprise it had a significant amount of what appeared to be sawdust.

Called the store and someone came out. They said it appeared to be powder post beetles.

I did some research on powder post beetles. There were probably eggs in the wood before the furniture was made. The eggs hatch. The larva eat into the wood and do pretty much all the damage. Most of the frass (sawdust) is present when the adults chew their way out of the wood. So I’m assuming most of the adults exited the first few weeks it was in my house. The adults, that can fly, mate and lay eggs in unfinished wood and the cycle repeats.

From what I've read it could be from 1 to 10 years before the adults exit the wood again depending on conditions.

It looks like this has created a time bomb in my house.

The furniture store says they will replace the piece of furniture but isn't going to do anything to treat my house.

While I assume the furniture store didn't know the piece was infected even though there was sawdust in the drawer they sold the furniture, delivered it to my house, and was in no real hurry to remove it from my house.

Is the furniture stores responsible for treatment and any future damage?
