Not a furniture beetle or similar kind of borer (including wax moths, carpenter ants. It does indeed not really look like the damage rodent teeth would leave, rather like the traces slugs leave on fruit (but I wouldn't expect slugs of the mollusc persuasion to live under a bed or attack guitars).
If the damage is caused by insect larvae you should find shedded skins, old puppae etc. AFAIK roaches can only gnaw soft materials, but feed by pre-digesting their food externally. Googling suggest they don't cause damage to wood that isn't already rodding or soaked. Another thing: was there any similar damage to the wooden parts of the bed, or to the mattress (rodents would probably have nested in there, or ripped out filling material to make a nest elsewhere). |
