Synopsis
Excerpt from Log Home Construction and Maintenance Tips: How to Prevent Decay and Insects
Other manufacturers have their log-kits fumi gated with toxic gases. Fumigation provides no long-lasting protection and does not necessarily ensure against beetle infestations. Beetles and fungi may infest unseasoned, fumigated wood within days after treatment.
