After seeing what these buggers could do when I split some infested firewood<br />(WOW)(extremely agressive tunnelers...lots of boring dust on the woodpile from just a few infested logs) I was concerned that some may have hitched a ride indoors.

I live on the Pacific coast and use a wood stove with imported oak, so I'm guessing the bugs were imported too. :/ Do you know if it's bad to burn the wood that is infested or if we need to spray the wood to prevent more larvae from chimellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165599144607724039noreply@blogger.com
