Dels closed. The new location is Tractor Supply and is located in Safeway's old location next to Longs in the Mall complex.
Treated pallets aren't supposed to make it into the ground up pallet supply but I'm sure some slip through. They don't take the nails out. I've never seen the Hilo operation but most places grind them whole and powerful magnets in the chute grab most of the nail chunks. We've only fetched one pickup load of pallet mulch (because they were out of regular mulch when we went) and I never saw any nails. It was actually pretty clean stuff. I didn't see any fire ants either, but we treated with Siesta just to be sure.
No ants in the mulch. They compost it too hot for them to survive.
