We've seen some record lows in Pittsburgh lately. Do you have a wood burning fireplace? Using your fireplace is a great idea to help keep heating costs down, but improperly storing firewood could invite some unwanted visitors...
Pests like carpenter ants and termites like to build homes in the wood you plan to burn.
Here are just a couple tips to avoid any potential issues:
Store firewood at least 10' from your home and be sure keep it on a ring or lay plastic between the wood and the ground to prevent those little buggers from moving in.
