Default well..

Are the worms active? Old worm holes?

If alive, kill them with some kind of insect spray unless there is a better method.

If they are dead, have the damage assessed IF it's even a concern. Many many old English and Italian basses as well as other basses that lived in these countries have old worm damage. It's part of the sound and if need be, the areas can be repaired depending on what's needed.

Show some pics if you can.
