I was moving some wood around yesterday and under one of my logs I saw a colony of what I think is termites.
The log itself didnt seem to have any holes in it and there was tunnels under the log into the ground.
My question are:
a) what should I put down as a barrier around my house. Im a suburbanite and only can go so far away from the house to put up wood, and went about as far as was possible.
b) It seems like the buggers were only in the area where I have used the saw and a large amount of sawdust had accumulated and then the logs got thrown on top out of the pick up. Were they just going after the sawdust?
c) what can I do to protect my wood piles? I stack on pallets but like the title says, Im kind of freaking.
I cleaned the area up from all the junk, and raked the saw dust up as much as possible, hopefully when its dry and in sunlight theyll go away (or go to burn in h*ll where they belong)
