Formosan subterranean termites in
mulch rumor
No doubt many of you have come across the e-mail that is circulating
regarding the transport of Formosan subterranean termites in mulch from New
Orleans. I wanted to dispel the idea that Formosan subterranean termites
will be transported in mulch, but also wanted to take advantage of this
teachable moment to inform folks about the threat of Formosans. Please
find attached an article that will discuss this. Hope you find this
helpful.
