Thread: Got worms in my wood, need advise.

i've heard of people solving the problem by putting the piece in a freezer, if you have access to one big enough that is.

Seal it with polyurethane! Bury 'em alive!

Since they have to breath you could try putting a piece of tape over the holes and wait for them to come to the surface to breath, but that might not work with wood since there might be pore or crack to allow air flow. Nice looking piece of wood though. Will make a nice table.

Like a teeny game of 'Whack-a-Mole'!

By the title of this thread, Andrew, I cannot figure out why no one has not advised seeing a doctor.....Quick!

Mill it in the sizes you need, than as above put it in the freezer for a couple days.

Exactly, seal their a$$e$ in,,, that would be cool to have a brush with with the critters staring back at you,,,,

For the 150 degree thing, does it get hot enough up there to try that in an enclosed car for a few days?

Here in SC, it sure does!

Heat is the answer. Get the interior (where the worms are) heated to 130f for 20 minutes and the worms will die of dehydration.

A cheap single hotplate can supply plenty of heat in a solid box
