 In the linked video the fellow was injecting that woodworm killer by injecting it into the holes with a hypodermic needle. I don't know what is in that woodworm killer but I would bet you could inject kerosene, mineral spirits, or naptha into the holes and it would have the same effect, bugs don't usually enjoy petroleum distillates. Another thing that would work is isopropyl alcohol, or methyl hydrate, injected into the holes. But I think I would just bake the cabinet in a oven, at low temperature rather then playing around with microwaves.
