I have a beautiful antique pine welsh dresser. However discovered to my dismay that there are several patches of woodworm, I can see dust around the woodworm holes which leads me to believe that the infestation is current. The patches are not too large (at the moment), I have used a Cuprinol spray but am not sure if this is truly effective.
Does anyone know any other effective ways of treating the timber? or any places where it can be done in the Southampton area?

It also functions as a really effective night light afterwards too.
