Q. We have a fireplace and we stack a small supply of firewood next to it in our family room. Lately I’ve noticed some small dark insects crawling on the wood and some sawdust underneath the stack. Are these insects going to attack wood in my family room?
A. When you bring firewood into your home, you sometimes bring in insects that were happily snoozing in the firewood pile. They don’t want to be inside any more than you want them inside. As they gradually warm up indoors, they begin to sluggishly move around.
