Hi All
 
I was just thinking about this whole AFB and beehives  with spores in
the wood story.
 
This may be a really stupid idea, but how would some agent like
formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde (apart from the fact that they are
poisonous and carcinogenic they are highly volatile) which would
intercolate (basically gum up the workings) of most organisms in the
wood??
 
Just a thought. I know it wipes out B.cereus and subtilus, don't know
about the ones that cause fould brood though.
 
Keep well
