Hello, pabloguther! Well, you can sell it for 500$ or 750$ in this case, but I recommend you to address the professional pest control service. Some of them have freeze rooms for this kind of situation. They freeze the insects, and after that, they clean them out with no damage to the furniture(amp in your case). I had the same problem with my piano, so I approached these professionals, ajverminatorpestcontrol.com. They did their job perfectly and even gave me the three years warranty.

With the onset of warmth there are more and more of them. The awfulness. Termites have always been a problem with my wooden furniture. I don't understand where they come from every summer, but I have to turn to enviropcs.com.au to get rid of these insects. Termites are one of those insects that require more wood if you find at least sawdust. If you have seen at least one, then there will definitely be more over time, so it is worth contacting an insect disposal specialist right away. When I contacted them, I realized that this would be a reliable way to get rid of everything that crawls and flies in my house.

Zombie thread…but if I had an amp with this, I’d garbage bag it with a dish of potassium metabisulfite with a little water…SO2 kills all.

Great first post!

If termites have always been a problem with your furniture I would suggest moving out of your treehouse as it's aboot to fall down.

If they are in your furniture I am oot of suggestions as you apparently live outdoors.

Or soon will be.


Quite frankly, unless your amp was left on the back patio or in your shed for years you got bigger problems.

If you bought it in a garage sale throw out the wood parts.

If it is a classic, take oot the chassis and speakers and hand it to an exterminator.

Or burn them.

Is it Wednesday? Damn...

Aren't the sniffer bots soemthing? This clown hears termites and "ping" here he is. My wife and i were discussing our will and the next day "ping" legal zoom ads on her feeds. The best we can determine is her phone was sitting on the counter.

But if your counter has termites?

You may need that will...
