Termites while splitting wood

[PDutro]

Discovered a termite colony in some rounds I was splitting. I knocked them out, smashed them, peeled off the bark.

My questions is, I know they need wet wood, so am I okay to stack this and cover it. Or should I toss it in the yard debris bin.

Leave it in the open for a day or two to let the birds eat the termites than stack it.

Not sure the termites will be eaten by birds; they'll burrow in immediately beyond the reach of most birds and don't have a habit to take a stroll like ants do.

If you want to keep the round, I'd dry the splits elsewhere (put it separate under a cover and without ground contact)
