Soak the timber in turps, it kills the insect eggs as well.

Strip out the timber and cover with a Tarp.
Seal around the edges with weight on the tarp edges( eg: bricks dirt rocks)
Lift a section and insert a few roach bombs.
Leave for 24 hours.
This is a poor mans fumigation.
Works for lyctus beetle.Hooroo.
