Fumigant control of marine borer attack in Douglas-fir piling

To assess the feasibility of using the fumigants chloropicrin, Vorlex?, or methylisothiocyanate to enhance piling performance, experimental Douglas-fir pile sections were exposed for 3 years in marine waters at Newport, Oreg., or at Port Hueneme, Calif. Visual and chemical tests indicated that fumigant treatments did not provide long-term protection against marine borer attack when untreated wood was exposed during construction.
