Default Salvaging old wooden floors

Hi All.

I have a 80 year old house with Oregan pine wooden floors. In many
areas the wood is infested with bugs, but some areas appears to be
still good. I'm planning to replace the floors in some rooms with new
pine flooring, but would like to salvage the good wood and use it in
the main living area, where the floor is quite badly damaged.

Obviously I need to rid of the bugs or else the problem will just
continue.

Any ideas on how to best approach this problem ??


If it's not tounge and groove, then:
Pull all the flooring, sort out what's salvagable, and
dip it an a dip-tank of tim-bor, or bora-care, or whatever
the product is that's designed for that.
