can i use "wild" wood in my cages?

[striko_69]

Im meaning if i put the wood with woodworm in it will mess up the other bits of wood in there,a nd therefore waste all the wood i have which is silly. I like this piece of wood and really want to use it. It just means i'll have to try hard to et rid of bugs because i dont want extra friends for my herps lol.

At risk of repeating, repeating, repeating...........
I dont understand why you would WANT to use a piece of wood, which YOU KNOW is already infested with wood worms.
You know its infested, toss it and get a better one. Yer asking for problems if you use that one.
You can kill the worms, but how are you going to get them out so as not to be leaving the protiens behind, to possibly cause other problems?

But like has been said. This is going on, and on, and on.
I think you have two choices. Either use the wood that you want, or go get another one. You CANNOT completely remove the worms from the wood, you can only kill them, and leave the carcasses inside.

Yer herps, yer money, yer choice.
