Default Mulch against home?

In article h_gta.631$n4.124

Hi, correct me if I am wrong. I use dyed hardwood mulch around the house.
I'm not concerned about termites because 2-4 times a summer, I spray an
ant/termite insecticide by Ortho around the perimeter of the home. I see no
ants etc. Am I taking a chance or is the insecticide application enough to
keep the home invaders away?


For the termites you may be slowing them down around the
foundation, but you will be pushing them to interior
areas. If the home is on a slab, areas such as the bath
traps and plumbing penetrations will be the problem.
