<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mansons2005, post: 179542, member: 121&quot;]Possibly only hearsay, but the &quot;heat&quot; treatment doesn&#039;t work very well unless the item is heated to a specific temperature and for a specific amount of time. Same thing with freezing. The little larvae live for a number of years before becoming beetles and the little buggers are pretty hardy. But once you see the holes, the larvae has morphed and the beetle is gone. What you are most likely seeing is the &quot;exit&quot; hole of a larvae that was inside when you brought the item in. So if you have the wooden item in a fairly dry place (they like damp), they should not re-occur. But double check my statements to be sure.
