Borax, Sodium Tetraborate Decahydrate....Ebay £5 ish a kilo delivered.........Dissolve 1kg into 5 gallons of warm/ hot  water and paint on to all your freshly milled lumber and fungi / insects should leave it alone,    been using it for quite a while now and it definitely works.

Borax will help. just make sure you have plenty of airflow around those boards,

Hi I have a drying shed in the corner of my yard open on 2 sides but with a big over hang to keep the rain off and I always sticker my milled boards , I also have an old rabbit breeding shed on the small estate I look after so yeah plenty of air flow I could do with some pallet racking to go in it but I have only just started using it as I am quickly running out of room at my yard .

 Thanks everyone stay safe
