Something nasty in the wood shed!

Yes
I got hold of some wood for logging (Small stuff.). I have it stored in a brick built "Potting Shed" under my garage (Live on a slope.).
I seem to have got some sort of infestation...Lots of little piles of sawdust and some dead bugs. The bugs are tiny, 1mm at the most. I've got 3 sets of logs in this location and it's only one set that's affected (At the moment)... Any idea what the are and how to treat them?
In the main pic it's the set top left thats affected.

Sounds like woodworm you got there.
 
From what I read there are many types of woodworm (actually a beetle) and they average 1mm in size, some even smaller.
 
With how very fine the dust appears (in the photos at least) my first thought was some form of mite.
