Permethrin fumite smoke (but don't burn it down) or spray applied to the
inside of the shed. Not perfect but it will seriously slow them down.
Now is about the peak woodworm adult season so a good hit will be fairly
effective.

And or paint the outside with creosote - a rather older remedy.

Anything varnished is probably relatively safe.
