I've been given an old and attractive dining chair with a some loose joints which I would like to repair but I notice their are 4 fresh woodworm flight holes. Has anyone a suggestion what I should do?

I'd keep it in the house. The more it dries the more inhospitable it will be for the worm. The greenhouse would be a breeding ground!.John15":13cikgbg said:Many thanks everyone for your advice.

Hi John, I am wondering what you decided to do about the woodworm in the lovely chair here? Did you treat it in the end or decide to leave it? I have a couple of pieces of furniture that have visible flight holes but I am reticent to use chemicals to treat it. I'd very very grateful for any advice you have - thank you!Some pics of chair. You can see the loose joints. Do you think it's repairable?
The worm holes don't look so bad in the close-up. I think I was panicking.
