Killing pests with microwaves

Would someone have scientific references and more general
information on suggested technologies to kill some historical
building wood beam pests?  They have yet not responded to repeated
standard fumigation, anoxia and injection treatments, mainly due to
lack of access. The life cycle seems to be between 4-5 years before
becoming fast-growing adults.  Please do not ask his name, as I have
had inconsistent identifications, but life is certainly there as
fresh saw dust is produced repeatedly and in high quantity.

The now suggested method is to uses microwaves (frequencies between
300 MHz (0.3 GHz) and 300 GHz) set to heat up to 60 deg. C.

Thank you for your help as this as timber is not my specific field
of knowledge.
