In the "when it rains, it pours" thread I showed my score of a few weeks ago. I'm 99% stacked (had one stack fall over Sat night, and had to re-stack yesterday. Bummed about that!)
A few of the logs had a decent amount of carpenter ants in them. Of course they scattered when I split, but when loading the pick-up to transfer to my friend's house I noticed there were still some ants crawling around on the pile. Should I be worried that I'm going to have infested firewood come spring time when I move the wood from my friend's shed where I'm storing it, to the stacks in my yard? Anything I should treat it with?
I hate the multiple handling of the wood, but I just don't have the space to store a lot at my house!
Thanks!
