At least you have an easy fix. You can put the candle holders in the
deep freeze for about 3-4 days and your little friends will be gone, or
a more risky tact with them being finished is to microwave them on
defrost for about 2 minutes.

I would freeze them to make sure I didn't melt the finish.

At least you found out now.. I had a piece I finished that sat proudly
on display in the bookcase until the telltale signs of bugs relegated
it to the gargage. At the time I didn't know how to remedy those
little buggers so I put thinned white glue in the tunnels. What a
PITA.

It's been suggested in the the past to put such wood in a container with
ammonia vapors. Don't think that would hurt the finish, but a few days
in there outta pretty much do 'em in I'd think...
