If Paul is right it my guess is it should be "Witch Hazel" to work a magic spell ..

I think its much simpler than that - fresh wood has a high moisture content so is attractive to the bugs.

also a softer wood and they prefer that tp the hard woods though I have noticed oak burrs seem to attract one type. There are dozens of different ones.

When in Austria all the museums had acorns in any wooded items. Apparently any wood worm was attracted more to the acorns than the timber. I tried this when I got home, no worms in the timber but none in the acorns either. so the jury is still out. Sort of makes sense(ish).
