Formosan Subterranean Termites in Hurricane Mulch

Formosan Subterranean TermiteThere's a lot of mulch headed north this time of year, and this year alot of it is coming from trees in Louisiana damaged by hurricanes Rita and Katrina last fall. Louisiana is heavily infested with Formosan subterranean termites - one of the most damaging insects in the world, and many of the hurricane damaged trees were already suffering from an infestation of this little beastie.

Be alert! Spreading this fellow north would not be a good thing, especially not if it's to your property! More information can be found here.
