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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
