It's been 20+ years since I was up-to-date on current methods of dealing with powder post beetles. Back then, there were ONLY 2 options, short of destroying the wood. One was to take a poison and squirt it into each and every hole. Problems with that are, sometimes you miss the correct hole, and sometimes the poison doesn't get through to the intended because it gets soaked up into the wood and wood dust.
The other method was to heat the wood. Seems like the wood had to heat to 120F, but I cannot remember how many hours it needed to stay at that temperature. Doing that will kill off any active borers as well as any unhatched eggs.
Boric acid might work to help prevent future infestations, but I doubt it will do anything to the current pests.
