I've never boiled any (but it is one way to ensure buts are killed)
A mild solution of bleach is another...scrub the wood with it, rinse well, and sun dry

I have a spare tank i put any 'wild' wood into (mine is from gardens not the sea though, and i only use wood i KNOW is free of pesticides))....i soak it...then sun dry it, soak, dry, ect for about 2 months.

Then i buy a dozen feeder fish and put them in the tank...if they survive just fine, then to me its safe. The wood is then ready to go into my main tanks

 

very good idea. i have a spare 10 gallon ill try it. i dont know about the bleach idea but ill definetly try boiling and sundrying repeat. thanks a lot.

 

u can also after u soak it put it in the oven and cook it till its dry
