Carpenter ants attack relatively wet wood, or die, once
brought in.
I've never seen termites in firewood, ever, in NE USA.
Spiders, however
will survive the trip into the house; if they're a
problem, wear
gloves, and remove them outside. Watch out for Brown
Recluse.

I was splitting some old firewood the other day that was
just filled with termites.
