Are termites in your mulch?

    2 years ago

Warmer temperatures this weekend may have you thinking about getting out in the yard for the first time -- maybe to mulch.

But an e-mail is warning people about mulch that may contain termites because it is being made from trees damaged by Hurricane Katrina. The e-mail warms that this mulch will be sold at home improvement stores at low prices.

But the truth is -- the e-mail is false and misleading.

The Mulch and Soil Council says materials coming out of the New Orleans area are under quarantine.

It wants to ensure everyone that the mulch you buy will be safe.
