Cleaned it off without thinking much about it. The next day there was
more and on close inspection saw a small hole.
So how do we get rid of the worms?
If it was a bowl, I'd say microwave it for a minute or so; long enough
to cook the worm, not long enough to burn the wood.
If you can fit it in a sealed plastic container, maybe fume it w/ammonia
or something?
The worms are likely beetle larvae of some flavor I'd expect. In a
month or so the problem will probably take care of itself. Of course,
you might then have a different problem! :-)
If it came from a warm climate, and you're in a cold one, maybe put it
outside in a shed for a time and freeze the tootsies out of the little
critters...
