Claim: E-mail warns that buying mulch from home improvement stores may
spread the Formosan subterranean termite.

Status: False.

Home Depot does not use any mulch suppliers from the New Orleans area.

The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry imposed a quarantine
on
several parishes back in October 2005 specifically to prevent the
accidental
movement of Formosan subterranean termite to other areas.
