Re: Woodworm damaged cabinets
Turpentine is made from pine tree resin. I've never heard of 'gum turpentine' but that may not be significant - it may be a specialised term or an Australianism. 'Turpentine substitute' is a petroleum product similar to white spirit.
Creosote has been banned in the EU too. I'm not sure about mothballs.
[Later] Just checked and naphthalene mothballs were banned in the EU in 2008.
[Even later] Despite this, I've just successfully bought some from a UK supplier, so it looks as if the rules aren't being enforced.
