Prepping wood items

[guidofatherof5]

Since my enclosures are large I would like to put some large wooden items(logs,bark) inside. My problem is they are too big for the oven or microwave. I don't think soaking is the way to go.
Any suggestions would be great.

Build a sauna.

Get a larger oven.

I have a host of friends. Always giving good, solid advise. You know, just like the old saying. "A friend in need is a friend in deed".
Wow, I don't know what to say. Thanks guys

I've had the same problem
I've soaked stuff in the tub in a chlorhexidine or bleach solution, showered it off and dried it hanging from the shower curtain rod
seems fine

Thanks RHEA!,
Finally a solution(no pun intended) with some merit. My concern was with the wood soaking up any chemical.
Any thoughts on using Provent-a-mite on it. I don't have any and have never used it but have heard mostly positive things about it.

But you said no soaking.

But you said no soaking.

For lack of any feasible ideas, I may have to soak. I just had my reservations about doing it.
I'd like to do this without any chemicals, if possible.

A powerful UV lamp??

Seems like it should work, UV is used to sterilize medical equipment and purify water, so why not wood?

My only concern would be the lights ability to penetrate the wood surface and reach all the nasties.
