Aw come on guys.
These horrible critters are a serious pest. Forums are full of gloom over them and full of the same answers to the problem. Freeze, chemical treatment etc I even know of a guy "myself" who placed an infested woody into a diving decompression chamber and dropped it to 600 ft to see if the partial pressure increase of the gas would do for them. eh. NO.
I know of restorers who now seriously avoid woddies in favour of Bakelite because of them.

Chemical treatment has a limited success record and freezing does NOT kill the eggs. I have proof of it in my own collection.
I have a Philco which I am very much excited about restoring. It is full of these things. I want totally rid of them and their offspring.

Help me out here guys. MICROWAV. ?
