I f 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 Lowe's
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 o! wn homes to avoid cheap mulch and know were it came
from.

Is there anyway that this can be sent out to as many as possible.  I
would hate to see this happen to anyone.

Thank You
