Do you guy recommend that I not store this inside in my covered wood bin? Do these insects go for the wood in houses too? I can't see any insects but haven't looked closey for them. I will tomorrow. It was CS&S ideally and never got wet. Or am I seeing dust from now dead insects because they froze. The wood is from a Judas tree/Eastern redbud. Thanks
 
Wood should never be stored inside the house for extended periods. Unfortunately we never really know what's in the wood we process for firewood.
Shouldn't be stored/stacked within 50yds of the house.

Some wood boring insects only want moist conditions, some don't care and will feast on dry. I'd keep the wood away from the house.
