Firewood: An open invitation for pests into your home...

Firewood stacked near your home is an open invitation for a number of pests. When it is cold outside and we are using our fireplaces, we understandably want to have convenient access to our firewood. But as a long term solution, firewood needs to be kept at a distance. Once these pests have made their home in the firewood next your house, the next step is for them to make their way INTO your house. So if you want help control the pest population within your home this year, don't leave the firewood next to your house. As soon as it starts to warm up and you are done with your fireplace, get it moved!
