ortho home defense pesticide is what i have been using on just about everything my exterminator doesnt handle. Maybe spray it down with that and run off the bugs.

I do spray my wood pile , when I have the lawn spray out and I am spraying the stuff that kills all the mosquitos and such turn the hose on the pile each time and soak it down , I get stuff from time to time with carpenter ants in it , split open a huge round and get a nest , grab the 2 gallon pump up sprayer with permithrin and hit the nest they are all dead 20 minutes later , as soon as it is dry it is safe for me to work with it , months later not a big deal going up the chimney.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Good one Flynn! Black locust has lots of them little critters. I keep it inside a rubbermaid container with a lid on it until it gets burned.

Heat the wood to an internal temperature of 140 F° for 60 minutes.
That is what Minnesota requires to certify it for transportation out of the "buggy" quarantine area.
I don't know about your laws, but to skip the kiln, I only sell within the quarantine area. You did inform the customer of the situation; let him decide if he wants to assume the risk. I know I wouldn't want carpenter ant infested wood stored inside my home. Other bugs...??? Outside for my boiler...???
Keep in mind that your nice ash and elm are probably the two worst offenders. ie: Emerald Ash Borer Dutch Elm disease.
Minnesota requires (at least in some situations) that the bark plus 1/2" of wood be removed prior to transportation.
