Anyone ever had problems with bugs eating one of your TiKis?

A TiKi that I carved has some bugs eating it.....small pin-hole with fine saw dust around it.

Any ideas on this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks

Im plagued with this problem. Yeah those are wood boring beetles. Everyone refers to them as worms. When you find them in the wood, they look like grubs (well i guess they are grubs at that stage). Then they mature into beetles and eat they way out. I bought some Tim-Bor, which is Borax or sodium borate. I think it's helping prevent them on uninfected logs but once they're already in there the Tim-Bor probably won't help much.

Haven't really found any other good solutions.
