It's a common problem out here, and to really treat woodworm (carcomas) it's best to get a specialist to pressure inject the beams but, as you indicate, this is very expensive. The alternative is a good soaking with a solution, or coating with a gel.

Have a look here:

Leroy's have a number of products, and xylazel are a very good make.

There are plenty of other websites which may help if you Google carcoma tratamiento, for example:
