Scientists are checking that all the woodworm were eradicated, by examining infected logs placed near the altar when the wasps were released.

 Woodworm
The tropical Bostrychoplites, pictured above, is closely related to some of our British wood-boring beetles, such as the true powder-post beetles (Lyctus spp.) that belong to the family Lyctidae, and also to members of the family Anobiidae, including the notorious death-watch beetle (Xestobium rufovillosum) and the common woodworm or furniture beetle (Anobium punctatum).
Wood can be protected from infestation and existing infestations eradicated by treatment with a commercial wood preservative, persistent contact insecticidal fluid, or preservative-insecticide mixture sold for 'woodworm' control.
These chemicals are made up in appropriate solvents designed to give maximum penetration of the wood and can be applied by brushing, spraying or pressure-injection (although the latter method usually requires the services of a specialist pest control company).
