Timbor is no longer on the market; just Bora-Care.

Barbara,
We have used Boracare on timbers in our buildings with great success. It
initially darkens the wood, but that eventually seems to fade. Sometimes two
applications are required, but it does halt the infestation. It can only be
used on unpainted or unvarnished wood. I believe Timbore is a similar product
from a different company.

Many thanks for all your input. It is great to have a number of options from
people who really know what they're talking about. If anyone could figure out
how to do the same thing with other facets of life, let me know!
Given the time it's been inside and the seeming lack of actual insect body
parts or frass in the collected debris, I'm not doing anything in a hurry. On
the other hand, I haven't gone to see it yet, after which I might change my
mind.
The truck (for either freezing or heating) might be a good idea. The problem
in New York is finding a place to park the truck! Sprayed chemicals, even
benign ones, are a hard sell, because so many people are phobic about
chemicals. If various people/organizations hadn't made mis-leading
statements about the benefits and safety of so many other things for so long, I
might be critical of this point of view. Telling someone that a chemical that
kills bugs is safe in a public space is likely to be a losing proposition, even
when it's made from flowers!.
