Here is visual evidence that cypress mulch is actually desirable for termites. In fact……they ate through the plastic bag to get to it!!!
Here is a bag of Red Cypress Chip Mulch with the “Termite Resistant’ symbol on it as we have all seen before.
After this bag was put on the ground for only 1 week, termites have eaten through the plastic and have eaten the cypress mulch in several sections.
Well, there goes that ole wives tale and how about the false sense of security for home owners!!!
I need to thank my dear Dad for the pictures. He is a highly reputable inspector who has taught my brothers and I to never be complacent when dealing with these damaging yet fascinating creatures. So when we conduct our termite inspections, we will even look under your bag of cypress mulch 🙂
