How far from the house should firewood be?

Question: Is it safe to store firewood next to the house? How far away from the house does firewood need to be?

Answer: Firewood storage attracts a number of pests including termites, other insects, and rodents. When you put firewood next to a building foundation, it's like leaving their favorite food right outside your door. I recommend that you keep any firewood at least five feet or more away from the foundation. It should also be stored in racks above the ground.

Call us, and a highly trained Orkin Pest Specialist will come to your home and conduct an inspection. They will assess the situation and make recommendations for how to help correct any pest attractants. Your Pest Specialist will also develop a customized treatment plan that best fits your needs.
