Any issues with termites when using natural mulch?
One of the biggest myth's out there. Termites are subterranean insects that are found in all of the US. They are in everyone's ground right now. Any mulch, pine straw, wood, pine bark, heck even rubber and synthetic mulches retain moisture (that, weed control and aesthetics) and that's why we use them, but that's what the termites/bugs like as well. A good rule of thumb is to keep ANY moisture retaining ground cover a couple inches away from foundation of house.

Only if you're using limbs or logs. typically, you should expose the slab about 6" or more with any mulch. A termite would starve trying to feed on a finely shredded mulch. The only thing a mulch can do is provide a moist cover for exploring but that can happen whether it's natural or not.
