Is there a successful treatment for woodworm?

Asked by WifeOfBath (503points) April 13th, 2009

I have a really old teak cabinet that I really love but found that there was a few holes, about six of them in the back panel.
Is there something that I could use that would successfully kill the beetle?

I love teak… I wish I had some pieces.

Freezing. Infested furniture may be wrapped in plastic and placed in walk-in freezers for several weeks.
