Howdy! So do we (call it woodworm).

One trick: place the item in a large plastic bag, spray in bug killer, quickly close bag and seal it tightly; leave it for a few days or a couple of weeks. Go quilt something. Open the bag outdoors or in a well-ventilated area (windows open, fan blowing). Dead bugs. Let the item sit outside in the sunshine to remove the smell of the bug spray (not a problem in the Tx. summer ). Worked for a couple of old wood pieces I had. The back of a large oak wardrobe had been infested before it came to live with us; I put it in the garage and sprayed the he!! out of it, covered it w/ a plastic drop cloth (paint store), then sprayed it again the next day and the next. After it aired for a week, I brought it inside and set it up. 22 yrs. later, the wardrobe is in the front living room, healthy and bug free (dust bunnies aren't bugs), w/ quilts sitting on the top of it.

Good luck! Ragmop/Sandy

Thanks Sandy.

I had thought about using the bug spray, but as kerosene had been used and didn't work I wondered if bug spray would work. I will go and give it a try now.

I agree bust bunnies aren't bugs, they are essential in any well run home ( that's my story and I'm sticking to it)

Only boring people have perfectly clean houses all the time. You ladies are obviously not boring and your dust bunnies just help prove it.
