the wood is sealed ( varnished etc) and no tiny holes or cobwebs then you will be fine.
The other trick is if you are still concerned is to put in a plastic bag and spray flyspray in there and give a good shake and tap.
I have bought back loads of wood but always checked for these things and if they are not sealed you don't stand a chance.
