Prepping firewood for upcoming cool autumn nights? 🪵🐜
Before you start stacking, take a quick second to think about where those logs are going. A woodpile placed in the wrong spot can quickly turn into a five-star luxury hotel for termites, spiders, ants, and mice right outside your door!
Keep your property protected this season by following these 3 simple stacking rules:
• Keep It Back (Minimum 5 Feet!): Never stack firewood directly against your house, garage, or porch foundation. Maintain at least 5 feet of open space between the logs and your siding so wood-boring pests can't easily cross over into your home.
• Elevate the Stack: Keep logs off the bare ground using elevated rails, cinder blocks, or a dedicated metal rack. Keeping wood off damp soil prevents rot—which is the #1 magnet for pests.
• Clear the 5-Foot Perimeter: Avoid letting dead leaves, yard debris, or fallen branches pile up around your foundation. Clearing this zone eliminates the dark, moist shelters pests use to nest next to your home.
A little extra distance keeps wood-destroying pests where they belong—far away from your living room! 🛠️✨
If you're noticing spiders, ants, or wood-boring bugs crawling around your foundation walls, Bee Gone Pest Control can set up a strong exterior barrier to keep them out for good.
