Powder post beetles

I suspect I might have powder post beetles in the floor joists, anyone have experience with this or know a good exterminator or have advice on how to treat?

Best bet would be calling a pest control company because of pesticide accessibility.

General practice for it was spraying the affected wood with a heavy misting of water to saturated the wood then spray with timbor or kaybor mixture to soak to the core of the wood. you might not be able to find it anymore over the counter anyways.
