Is It Bad To Store Wood on Your Porch Over the Summer?

DSCN0603

Aren’t you supposed to keep wood piles away from your house for fear of attracting termites? Or is that just a myth?

    It’s better to keep the wood away from the house, but if they plan on keeping the firewood there, they should cover it with a waterproof cover to keep it dry and deter termites; damper wood will definitely attract termits.

    termites, mice, and other pests. plus, wet wood on a wooden porch can’t be a good idea. must be a rental.

    Usually, you should keep them covered, elevated a few inches above the ground, and a few feet from your house. Bugs love dark, cool, moist places.

    not just termites, but it will also attract rats!
