Make Your Problems Buzz Off This Summer

With summer in not too distant future, it will be time to get your log cabin ready for it. The bad news is that you will most likely encounter a few speed bumps now that the seasons are changing.

One of the biggest problems is wasps or bees using holes in your logs that were made by beetles to place food and eggs in. Once they do that it will create a dirt wall to seal off the hole. 

Then when the offspring finally hatch, they crease a hole through that wall and leave the log. The misconception that follows is that all of this will harm the wood, however, they only use it for nesting purposes.

Even so, this can still be quite a nuisance for log cabin owners if they are looking to be outside, as a large group of bees or wasps can become over-baring and even harm you by stinging you. 

Don’t Feel the Sting of Summer

The good news is, there are two simple steps to eliminate this problem. 

One of them is to fill any holes on your cabin with chalk or chinking. 

The second is if it’s already too late and there have been wasps and bees hatched, is to clean out the hole and seal them to prevent any more new insects from being hatched.
