Careful when storing firewood

[Lightspeed]

This is an issue we have to deal with all the time.

We season and store chopped firewood in an outdoor woodstore, but find it really needs to come indoors a few days before being burned, so as to get the moisture content down to lowest poss level. This is especially the case in spring and autumn which can be damp around here. From time to time, while in the warm beasties emerge.

To control infestations, all woodwork around the indoor storage area has been thoroughly treated with wood worm /rot solution, and the firewood itself is stored on long seed trays in an attempt to catch debris and hitch-hikers.
