Of course, we will be asking the landscapers and our pest control company, but we thought TOTV folks might have some good information or might have actually experienced an issue with mulch and termites. Thanks for any info.

Rock is the only solution for keeping insects out of your shrubs/garden. Bark and pine straw attract insects and you have the addition cost of replacing in the future.
