Subject: Wood borer infestation
I have come across a large pine log (approximately 1m diameter, 2.5m long) with borer infestation. The log is too large for any freezer that I have access to and we do not want to use pesticides as it is to subsequently be used. I was wondering whether anyone has undertaken anoxic, or black bag, treatment of any large wooden objects, and how effective they were on objects with a small surface area to volume ratio. If they are ineffective, do you have any suggestions for other appropriate treatments? The treatment will be undertaken in-situ before the log is moved for seasoning.
