- Beware!!!
-
- A heads up for those of us with yards
& gardens....
-
- 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.
