If it is borers, shouldn't I be worried about
them infesting my trees??? Is there a way to kill them?
I would use the clear plastic cover to keep them from escaping and
moth balls as a fumigant as the borers will slowly turn your firewood
stack into a pile of sawdust.
They get into living trees and can do serious damage. You would need
an arborist to assess that situation and prescribe remedies.
I have seen Lindane used to control wood borers in the past (peach
orchards) and hopefully that is illegal now in the US. I think I have
heard of wood borers infesting houses and to get rid of them you have
to cover the whole house in plastic film and fumigate inside the cover
using what I do not know.
OH SHIT!!! I'm gettin' some plastic and mothballs today, but I'll have to
move the stack to get it away from the wall. It's a big stack :-( What do
these suckers look like after they've matured, so I'll know if they are
maturing yet. I assume that is when I need to worry about the house and/or
live tree infestation????
