I've noticed over the years that the grubs(some kind of wood borer?) get into the bark on my oak and hickory firewood and make a powdery mess. Any way to keep them away?
Does anybody know where there come from?
They are the larval stage of several types of wood beetles. The beetles are attracted by the smell of fresh cut/ damaged trees and lay their eggs which hatch into the grubs that begin boring into the wood. They really like punky/soft wood and you will find a large number of them when you are splitting wood. You can share they don't eat much :greenchainsaw:
it all depends if you believe in creation or evolutions......
