Do termites live in mulch?
No! Subterranean termites live in colonies under the ground, but there have been numerous cases where homeowners and pest control operators have found termites in mulch, pine straw, and other types of ground cover. The workers or foragers search just below the ground surface for cellulosic (food) materials. Most mulches contain some form of ground or shredded wood which contains cellulose. If the termites find and consume the Termite Killing Mulch they will be affected. In addition, any other termites who receive food from the affected termites will also be affected.
