However, we have had hardwood mulch for 5 years and I have not yet found one termite so I am still a fan of using it!

They help to replenish nutrients to our southern clay as they break down. Also, for any house in the south, wood around a home is just an open invitation for termites. Sorry, I'll take a little extra work of pine needles over bugs eating my house any day. Being from the north I thought pine needles were wierd at first too, but they serve a purpose.
