    My husband made a lovely oak bed (untreated timber) which we want to bring with us to Australia. There are a few holes in the timber...possibly woodworm.
    Where in Cork or Kerry could we get it treated and certified?
    It needs a certificate so Aust Quarantine don't do it again and charge us for it.
    thanks for any tips on the subject.

    Just wait to do it in oz imo.

    Woodworm treatment won't guarantee that there is no woodworm present. Every piece might not have been treated, or it could have been reintroduced in shipping etc. In quarantine, its be irradiated at point of entry.

    Thanks Mellor,
    I have heard scary stories of huge fees for treatment in Oz.
