Seven Ways to Get Rid of Woodworm
#1
Persistent aren't they?

1. Dose with a (anti-ant) boric acid solution every year for n years (where n is a number greater than 5), each year marking new holes with a pencil to record progress or otherwise.

2. Use one of the proprietary sprays every year for n years, each year marking new holes with a pencil to record progress or otherwise. (Wear sufficient protective clothing to dive in the North Sea.)

3. Heat the whole car in a giant oven (the local pie factory will have one) to >60 C for three hours.  

4. Fill the car with fumes from a non-catalysed exhaust pipe for a couple of hours to choke them on CO.  Then put up with the smell for the next n years. (Don't try this at home.)

5. Remove the offending pieces of wood or trim panelling and ask a kind man, such as Martin P, to make another one the same - and then hope and check, check and hope, etc.

6. Have all the wood replaced.  (And replace anything wooden in the garage e.g. the rafters, plus stairs in the house, kitchen cupboards etc.)

7. Sell the car - and buy one that is frass-free (Tesla?)
