I found listing for the Termites on other sites but they are not resistant to pesticides any more than other regular termites. I would still be careful abouut buying mulch that is shipped from anywhere as it is so easily available here. Even here you can find bugs coming in with your firewood that shouldn't be there. I get my wood from Monument and they're cutting a lot of diseased trees and shipping it as firewood. The pests are going to get us one way or another. I just lost a tree to beetles and am trying to save the other, Blue Spruces. I had no idea the bugs were even in town but trees all over the place are loosing their needles. If you have any spruces, treat 'em now even if they're healthy. And water them, this has been a dry winter for trees especially. Remember years ago we were being warned about fireants? I found a strange looking mound of twiggs and dirt in my garden full of ants. I got rid of them but I've never seen ants like that in this area before. I don't know what they were. Thanks for the heads up on snopes, a site like that is needed. I'm like anyone, sometimes I'll fall for the fantastic tales too. Sometimes I catch on early like the "Koran 9-11", I knew that was fiction because I'd read the Koran, what there is of it.
