Borers and wood worm

[Dinki Di]

Hello to all the wood workers
I used Naphthalene flakes to keep possums , carpet snakes , wood worm and borers out of my container and covered wood piles outside
Naphthalene is no longer allowed to be sold in Australia so what can we use in it’s place.
I can put up with the possums and carpet snakes but borers and wood worms will not be tolerated
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Gaetano

Dissolve some boron in water and spray on your timber will keep most bugs away.
