Abstract
Moulds and beetles often attack bamboo furniture/structures due to inadequate preservative treatment. Remediation or eradication of infestation often involves expensive chemicals and methods, which are not available in villages. Novel inexpensive methods using easily available chemicals were developed for controlling such infestations. Whereas application of common baking soda can be used to prevent moulds, fumigation with ammonia or localized heat treatment can get rid of beetles.
