I searched a few threads on this topic before posting my own because none quite answered my qwuestion. So here it is. My dad said that after the wood comes into the basement it dries out and the bugs die since they won't live in wood that is not getting moisture. I don't havew the heart to question him right now but I'm a little suspect of that response. So what do you think? Is it safe to leave a cord in my basement over the summer?
