Wood boring insects are a potential problem with any log home. In Louisiana the bugs seem to be very abundant. When we peel the logs we will treat them with a high quality insect and fungus treatment and then seal it in with a stain. Until we get them peeled we are trying to keep the pesky little bugs at bay using a cheaper spray and so far it seems to be working fine.
When we start peeling and stacking logs we are planning to use Penetreat for the bugs and Capture stain, both of these products are made by Sashco. We will eventually follow up with an additional coat of stain and a coat of clear and some caulking in the gaps, all of the products that we plan to use will be from Sashco.
