I remember reading this post a while back. I have recently gotten some palm tree tiki carvings for my pad. I have the exact same problem... wood beetle infestation in my carvings. I am attempting to wrap the two carvings in plastic bags and throw them in a freezer for a few days. I have been noticing some of the dead beetles around my apartment in other rooms. Once the carvings are bug free, would I need to bug bomb my place to rid the household of any loose live bugs? Did anyone have problems with these critters on other wood in the same room- wood furniture, wood floors, etc.? Down with wood beetles!
