Treatment for old wood before use
I have lots of old wooden planks from a decking that was disassembled years ago. Long story short, some of them never made it to the tip and they’ve just been sitting in the shed. I would like to make something with them as a DIY project, might as well put them to use. Is there anything I’ll need to do first to ensure that they are not harmful, infested with bugs, etc.? They look fine on the surface but I want to be sure. What should I treat the wood with before using it as construction material for household fittings?

Creaking Stairs
Any advice on how to minimise creaking stairs? Removed the old stair carpet and secured with additional screws where the old nails had come loose/ weren’t nailed in correctly. Still some creaking and large gaps between the uprights and steps, is there any expanding glues etc out there I can try before it gets new carpet fitted. Unfortunately underneath of sites is not accessible. Thanks in advance 👍🏼
