    G'day.
    Get a cheap blue tarp from SupaCheap or Bunnies and wrap it around the cupboard. Lift one corner and set off a Roach Bomb under the tarp.
    Leave it sealed for 24 hours. After that check to see if there is any more borer activity.

    Has worked for me.
    Hooroo.

    I usually soak yhe timber in turps as that kills the eggs as well as the insects,
    Though Spider bombs have a residual effect so the Roach bombs probably do too.

    hmm, I might go delouse a couple of pretty stumps that I have hanging around
