Default mulch against concrete block house?

Hello again,
I've searched and searched I guess theres no solid answer. I'm in
florida is mulch in the beds surrounding the house advisable or not?


Termites are prevalent in my area, and the local building code requires
18" of concrete between ground and wood siding. I have mulch pretty
much all around my house. So wood mulch around concrete is okay, as
long as you don't have siding within easy reach of the mulch.
