Last week I milled up some pine from a friends ranch in southern OR. the trees had been standing dead and after we milled and stickered, I started to notice piles of sawdust from beetles and eventual found a live beetle and some larvae. I was leaving town for a week and covered with a tarp and set off two small bug bombs under the tarp.
So question, what can I do to treat and kill these, I do not have a kiln, just air dry inside. I also do not want them to spreed to other areas in my shop, lumber stacks or green logs. Its less then 500 BF but it is the blue pine and we are going to make a island for his new house from his trees. So it is not something i want to just burn.
Thank in advance.
