Pests that live in firewood can be inadvertently brought indoors. Guard against this by inspecting the firewood first, and only bring in what you will burn within a day or two.
PEST PREVENTION TIP OF THE MONTH Don t inadvertently bring pests indoors! Check furniture, food, grocery bags, boxes, luggage, and other items you carry in. Also check all potted plants you bring indoors for ant colonies nesting in the soil, pests like sowbugs and earwigs underneath the pots, and pests on leaves and stems.
