Mulch Alert

Be careful when buying mulch this summer

> 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 transporting 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.
