Although I think Mr. Grebe's client owns a basket case, you may want to know that the entomology dept. here at NMSU proclaimed them "bulletproof" to almost everything except a nasty pesticide called "lindane"(not sure of spelling). We had received them with a truckload of walnut from somewhere around Alabama (where it had been cured), and they came close to causing real real real bad problems in our shop. We tried all kinds of less toxic stuff.... I think the one that boggled me most was the plank we put into our vacuum press. No air in there for about five days. They loved it!
