I was given a nice antique sideboard but the thing is infested cockroaches! It is wood and wood veneer. It has been sitting outside under a tarp for about a week and I want to get it in before it gets water damage. However, the bugs are still there! Anyone have a good technique to get rid of the bugs without damaging the wood? Bleach, vinegar, Raid?
I am a huge fan of these classic shooting games and would love to see and possibly own some cool memorabilia and collectible items for them.
A look at the 2012 Collectors Carnival Antiques & Collectibles show at the Vanderburgh county 4H fairgrounds in Evansville, Indiana.
