You know, they kind of move like me in the morning in this state:). I look at it this way, the more I can leave out at night to freeze, the less I have spend on bug spray next year! :rolleyes:.

Actually, an old farmer told me when I was way younger, "If you leave a pile of rotting wood out there, you will never have to worry about bugs in your house.

Don't know if that one works though, but I have piles.

Don't even get me started on ants!!!!!!

I split two Black Cherry rounds with ants in them the other day. The splits got the Bayer treatment. Problem solved.
 
Seems I always get them in the big maple rounds, the OP's wood looks like maple too.
 
Um Hm Ants in the maple sap......they know a good thing. If you split a maple round that has ants in it, and expose the side the ants are in to the wind and sun, in a day or two they have left for a new home, and you can split and stack without getting ants in your pile, at least in my experience.

They are pretty lethargic right now and the night time temps are below freezing. I think they wil all be toast before finding their next home. :) I have quite a few though int the maple logs.
 
Wrong ant Mike. That was your aunt, and where are those cookies?

OH. I couldn't understand why he posted the pics of those little buggers.:p
And as far as they cookies only thing left was some crumbs for those other kinds of ants==c
