bb23,

I'm not sure you can buy creosote anymore. It's my understanding they have outlawed it because of soil contamination. I would recommend used motor oil. Years ago my grandfather used to tie a chain between two trees, about 2 feet off the ground, and wrap it with old feed sacks (cloth). then soak the sacks in motor oil. The hogs will walk under it geting the oil on them and this helped keep bugs off them. This was for his tame hogs.. That's where we got the idea of wraping a tree with the sacks and puting the oil on them.

just go get a rail road tie and put it in the ground when they've got the good out of it refresh it with some cresote from the store if you can't find that diesel fuel will work
