If you use mulch around your house be very careful about buying mulch this
year. After the
hurricane in New Orleans many trees were blown over. These trees were then
turned into mulch
and the state is trying to get rid of tons and tons of this mulch to any
state or company who
will come and haul it away. So it will be showing up in Home Depot and
Lowes at dirt cheap
prices with one huge problem; Formosan Termites will be the bonus in many
of those bags. New
Orleans is one of the few areas in the country were the Formosan Termites
has gotten a strong
hold and most of the trees blown down were already badly infested with
those termites. Now we
may have the worst case of trans****ting a problem to all parts of the
country that we have ever
had. These termites can eat a house in no time at all and we have no good
control against them,
so tell your friends that own homes to avoid cheap mulch and know were it
came from.
