I would think you will want to wait until there is a threat of the bugs being present. You should consult a bug control company in your area.

Sounds like mold from moisture from the air conditioner or rain splash off from the air conditioner.

You should be fine doing this. Fill the holes with Energy Seal.

Not sure on this one. Call 800-548-1231

Everything sounds good except I would tell you to use the Sikkins Log & Siding.

Yes the logs can be replaced. And, yes you can treat the rest of the house, but if there is a finish on it, it will need to be completely stripped back to bare wood and then treated.

They do make borate rods that you can drills holes and insert into the wood. I’m not sure how effective they eill be in dry barn wood. Call Timeless Wood Care at 800-564-2987 to buy them.

Sounds like mold that has dried. Find a local mold expert on the web.

I’m not sure. If the house is log, then I would have it stripped and borate treat it. If it is stick built, then have at it with the fumigation. Fumigation can destroy the gaskets that are used between the logs in a ”kit style” log home.
