I have a old wooden water pump thats been in my barn for probably 80 years. I want the make it into a floor lamp. There are holes in it from powder post beetles. How can I treat this wooden 6 x 6 wooden pump before I bring it into the house so I don't spread these insects if they are still in the pump. I thought about soaking it in something but what? Anyone got any ideas Thanks . Robert.

Spray it with Bora-Care. The borates kill the wood digesting bacteria in the beetles gut, the beetle starves.

I read the posts, and thinking you must have a 6inch x 6inch x 5 foot or other wise a very understanding wife. Anyhow I'm on the EMS team and as far as a disifectant we can buy $300.00 a gallon, but are told a 10% solution of bleach will kill anything including blood born patagens. If you could soak it good in a bleach solution I can't imagin it not taking the life out of anything including the unborn eggs. I have no idea of the bugs you are talking about as I have never heard those terms unless they are the ones we have a universal name for (#^*~)bugs. Another cheap idea is to call the extention office. Of course they will give you a pamphlet! but it is something. Dave NE IA

Powered Post beatles spend part of their life cycle in the ground (I think one year equals one life cycle). So if this pump has been stored in a building with a good floor (concret ect.) for a year or more, the bealtes will be gone.

I have seen powder post beetles live for years in the attic of houses. The USDA has a department called the Forest Products Laboratory, part of the US Forest Service. Some of the "information" posted here does not match at all what they have published in the Wood Handbook.

A pest control company could treat it for you. Today, about all that can be easily bought for topical application is BoraCare. Costs about $85.00 per gallon, non-toxic to people.

The wooden pump measures about 6 x 6 inches x about 5 ft. tall and has about a 3 inch hollow circle inside the column.

 Killing Powder Post Beetles in reply to Robert in Md, 02-11-2006 19:18:43  
Hi Robert, I would place the infested article in a reasonably air-tight container like a milk crate wrapped in heavy plastic. Place a pan with a half inch of full strength formaldehyde on the bottom and use some kind of spacers in the pan to support the wood above. A couple days in this little gas chamber should kill anything. Purchase formaldehyde at a farm supply store, or if unobtainable, I would guess ammonia would work. Be thankful that the beetles are in a lamp and not in your house's floor joists and subfloor (like mine).

Hi Robert, I just realized that you probably mean 6x6 feet, not inches. Anyhow, build your gas chamber of 2x4s and heavy polyethylene film to fit, or use a sealed up garden shed, and lots more formaldehyde. Another fumigant the old timers used was a big block of sulphur set on fire. They used to fumigate whole houses this way (and probably burnt down a few). The sulpurous fumes should dissipate after a long time.

I was talking to a fellow that ran a sawmill and he said to leave it out in sun for a few days.They are unable to take the sun.

If there is a sawmill near by with a kiln. You could ask if they would put it in there next pitch drying bug killing cycle. I can't imagine them charging you more than 10 bucks but then you never know. Basically the kiln will heat up to 160 degrees F for 24 - 48 hours. Kills the nasties in the wood should not hurt your piece of lumber. Benefit no chemicals.
