We have been using Cocao Mulch for about 5 years in our garden and flower bed and been very happy until this year. We have had a LOT of rain in the Philly area this spring and know that conditions are abnormal. We have noticed that the mulch is hard and chunkie this year rather than nice and soft and flackie. We also noticed that in the shaded spots where is in limited we have had some white molding but didn't think much about it. It is extremebly hot today so decided to water plants some new annual plants to give relief. When I got water on the much all of a sudden these little white larvae started surfacing and then jumping. We are talking about LOTS OF THEM. Can you help me determin what they are? Should I be worried about them? What can I do to get ride of them? Am I going to have lots of other problems because of theM/ HELP!! Thanks a bunch. Jp
