    Default Borers and wood worm

    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.
