I will be stacking cut and split wood on heavy duty pallets soon for next year’s heating season. These pallets will be on an unpaved dirt road near woods. Is there a technique to keep the ants and other critters from nesting in the drying wood? I like the little critters but don’t want them close to the house when I move the wood in late fall. I can put the pallets on a tarmac parking area if that will reduce the chance of the bugs getting into the wood. I will have a mix of hard and soft wood. Thanks.
