"termite infested antique dresser-can this be saved?How? I'm broke but LOVE this art deco piece!"
This is a "found" piece from the 30's I believe... a tall boy, men's dresser. The right side piece shows quite a bit of burrowing from the back. You can see tiny little balls inside the burrows - I'm thinking eggs, but I'm not a termite officianado, so.... I'm also NOT a carpenter/craftsman ..... I really want to know if I can "tent" the piece with ? ;or treat it someother way that can save the wood. The affected area is substantial, but it does not effect the stuctural integrity of the piece. please HELP! Also I do need to know what chemicals it can be treated with, where I can get them, & how to use them properly. THANK YOU!
A cheap home remedy!
Put the dresser down on the floor.Dip cotton ball in Kerosene oil and squeeze the oil on the effected areas.If there are any holes then make sure the oil goes into them.After this,spray kerosene oil on the whole piece.
You will have to do it once a week for 3-4 times and then it will be ok!
