[USCC] Termites in Composted Biosolids Mulch

Tue Oct 23 12:43:38 CDT 2007

 Lois,
I have operated biosolids composting facilities for >14 years and have never encountered them on site. Termites do eat wood however, so I can't swear that with the passage of time and exposure to the elements and an opportunity, the termites would not eat them.
