Bam Bam's carving thread - Tiki Carving

I got it at Home Depot in the pesticide area. Basically I just made a mini fumigation chamber. The supplies needed are duct tape, a trash can(preferably with no holes in the bottom, if there ARE holes, use the tape to seal them up) large enough to contain the carving and a trash bag large enough to cover the carving and be taped to the outside edge of the can. I used a 32 gallon can and 55 gallon drum liners. What I did was set the carving in the trash can, set off the fogger in the bottom and then quickly pulled the bag over the top of the carving and taped it to the rim of the trash can. I left it sealed up like that for a couple of days. When I removed the bag, the dead bugs were about an inch deep. If the infestation is really bad, you may need to do two treatments. Cheers, Heath
