Is that the natural "gum turpentine" of the sort used by artists to thin paint that has insecticide properties?
In Australia creosote's been banned, but we can still get naphthalene mothballs, which can be put in a plastic bag with the dodgy wood and left somewhere warm for an extended period, or possibly added to kerosene in small amounts to give it a creosote quality.
