Kill! (wood worm) how?

[buffalo606]

Milled a bit of oak that's been on the deck for a year.  Lot of wood worm - especially liking the sap wood. How do I stop them from causing more damage and then keep them away?  Wood is just going to be cut in to slats for a log shed.

Plenty of woodworm killers on the market but most are pretty unpleasant to use. Read on hear of using borax but not tried it myself. The woodworm holes in the pic look old as they are dark. Fresh holes are normally as pale as the wood.

Also there are different woodworm species.  The ones that like Oak logs usually die when milled and dried.  Generally Oak is not their favoured wood.  If you are worried you can get woodworm killers but I think they will die off anyway as the wood dries.

Cool, hoping they die now that wood is stickered and stacked.  Noticed a few live ones. Rather not use chemicals if poss
