I think the safest way is either you bake it under really super hot sun or you bake it in a microwave oven, just to kill it completely. From my experience, scraping doesnt help much at all lol

Boil the wood in water laced with salt then leave to dry in the sun. If the heat dnt kill the mites, the salt will.So, i guess im still going with the boil water & hot sun, although the sun that shine on my area is limited |

Just pour boiling water on the wood and bake in under the sunlight for 2 days and u are good to go.. the mites will be gone by then but I dont know about other microorganism. You might cause more harm then good using salt or germ spray.
