Community Warning
Warning from U of G. If you use mulch. if you use mulch around your house , be very careful about buying it 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 of this mulch to any state or company will come and haul it away. So it will be showing up in major centres 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 where Formosan Termites has gotten a strong hold and most of the trees blown down were already baddly infested.. Now we may have the worst case of transporting a problem to all parts of the country. These termites can eat a house in no time and we have no control against them..
So... spread the word about avoiding cheap mulch and finding out where it came from.
