1) Doesn't rain effectively flush a stronger mixed proportion a good 6 inches into the soil? 2) What's recommended for driveway/patio/walk way areas right against the home?
The active ingredient, Fipronil, in Taurus SC Termiticide is formulated to bind with the soil so it can provide a barrier treatment for approximately 10 years. When just pouring onto the surface it will not move through the soil but bind to that top layer. We recommend allowing a 24 hour window without rain or irrigation, before or after the treatment, so it can bind with the soil. If you have a built-in garage, you will need to drill across the concrete driveway to complete your barrier treatment. Please read our Subterranean Termite Treatment Guide for more information and tips.
