Getting firewood stacked for cool Ohio autumn nights or cleaning up your yard? Be careful where you store that woodpile—it can quickly turn into a luxury hotel for termites, spiders, and mice!
Protect your structure by following these 3 simple stacking rules:
Keep It Back (Min. 5ft!): NEVER stack firewood directly against your house, garage, or porch foundation. Aim for at least 5 feet of clearance between the logs and your siding so pests can't easily cross over.
Elevate the Stack: Keep logs off the bare ground using rails or a metal rack. This prevents moisture buildup and wood rot (which pests crave!).
Clear the Perimeter: Don't let leaf piles, dead branches, or yard debris accumulate in that 5-foot zone around your foundation—it creates dark, damp shelter right at your doorstep.
A little distance keeps wood-destroying pests where they belong—far away from your home! 🛠️✨
