Fire-wood should never be against the house

I’m sure we have talked about fire-wood and the problems associated with it. But lets discuss the potential for all kinds of pests.

1. The photo below allows termites access by visually impairing the ability to see mud tubes.
2. When you bring the wood in, only bring in what you will use immediately.
3. Inspect the wood before hauling it in, pests like wood borers, rodents and wasp can over winter in it.
4. If you must store wood over the year, place it away from the house on a stackable device.

There are always options for storing wood, just use common sense.
