In the last few decades lamella parquet (which is made of solid wood) has been used for interior house flooring and commercial buildings in Macedonia. The poor structural protection or not placing the parquet very well can create several conditions for developing wood pests that can lead to attacking the floor surface and of course causing problems. The floor surface can be destroyed due to the attacks of insects that can lead to big economic losses. The first part of this paper refers to the floor attacks caused by the insects called Bostrychus capucinus L, as well as the damages caused to the buildings. In the second part an overview for recovery is given, as well as methods and techniques that can be used. Also economic parameters that can influence taking actions for recovery are analyzed.
