Is this true?Snopes had no info.


This was forwarded to me from another Real Estate Broker. Paula
FYI.............
I just got this message from my father who owns a pest control company in Arizona. He keeps up with the pest control news from the country and this is what he told me.
If 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 Lowes 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 own 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. [:(]
