i know this topic must come up a little too often, but i can never find the info when i need it. i found a fallen branch in a park near my house and cut it to a good size. ive read that most people bleach and then bake branches they find outside. but this branch is way too big for my oven. i was wondering if just bleaching it and spraying it with provent a mite and/or reptile relief would be good enough. its so perfect at the size it is now, id hate to have to cut it down. but if its what i gotta do, i guess i will. id appreciate any input.

And if they are not sandblasted clean, they can get fungus and bacteria on them. If you're going to do it anyway.. 5% bleach for 20 minutes let it sit on the sidewalk in full sun to dry after it is rinsed. Grapewood, manzanitta, and cork bark is my preferred wood. But still need regular maintainance.
