Don't know about the cabinet, but what about your house man...

Termites come from somewhere and form a nest in a likely site - ususally dark and damp..

Pest inspection for sure...

As for the cabinet a simple bug bomb or even fly spray will fix the little bastar%s.

But you need to locate the nest and get that wiped as well...

Thankfully we don't have termites in England........  We do have woodworm, but they're very fussy about the wood they eat.  They'll attack a nice mahogany wardrobe, but they wouldn't touch a chipboard or MDF cabinet even if you paid them to move in  ;D

Never had a termite problem but i did pickup a cab that was full of piss ants. I learned real quick to clean a cab out before it comes in the house :) Heaven forbid you get one full of roaches :cry:

I'd spray the cab outside and leave it their if ya can for a couple days just to make sure their dead.

My Question: Is you cabinet empty or not? Cause I checked the cab I picked up, which is empty,  for insects and I didn't see any. But now you got me worried :(

I'm just hoping none of those boogers got out and found their way below your house to start a nice little colony.  Termite treatments aren't cheap!
Reality is overrated.

I have had a lot of exp with termites did you just get the cab or have you had it a while, if you have had it a while pull up the carpet by the stem wall you prob have activity right there & you have problems you will need to have this area drilled & treated I would also getting a bait station setup, thats what I did & i have been termite free for 10.00 years, $1500 to $2500 dollars, termites can only live in the ground so they are moving from your cab to the ground everyday
