I store firewood and it gets bugs snakes and other critters like mice. I keep it above the ground, away from the house too. I was thinking on spraying it with pest away but wanted to make sure that would be safe for when I go to burn the wood.
So first, spraying the wood with a diluted solution of PEST AWAY wouldn’t create a smoke that is any more toxic than normal. That said, is this your best option? Maybe not.
XEMPT G is another repellent that is solid. Applying it on the ground under the wood pile would prove to be very effective against most any animal or reptile. Pest Away is more designed for immediate repellent action but it won’t last more than a month. Xempt G is designed to be used for long term protection. It won’t work as quickly compared to Pest Away but it typically will remain active up to 90 days.
You can also spring some onto the various rows of wood. It comes packaged in 1/2 lb bags and one bag will protect up to 125 sq/ft. This means you could protect a 10×10 area under the wood and still have plenty to sprinkle on top of some rows. Just be sure to brush it all away before burning the wood if you plan on using it before 90 days have elapsed after you treat.
