My brick veneer is deeper than 6 inches. I'm afraid the termites are going under the brick somewhere where it meets my poured concrete basement wall and travelling up behind the brick.
Per the Taurus SC Termiticide product label: "Basement Structures: Exterior perimeter: Apply by trenching and rodding into the trench or by trenching along the foundation walls at the rate of 4 gallons of finished dilution of Taurus SC per 10 linear feet per foot of depth, or, if the footing is more than 4 feet below grade treat to a minimum depth of 4 feet. Trenches need not be wider than 6 inches and must be a minimum of 6 inches deep or to the bottom of the footing. When trenching in sloping or tiered soil, the trench must be stepped to ensure adequate distribution and to prevent Taurus SC from running out of the trench. Never treat a structure below the footing. Space the rod holes no more than 12 inches apart in a manner which will create a continuous treated zone. Mix the finished dilution into the soil before replacing it into the trench". Depending on the design of your home, you may need to trench deeper. It is safe to do so if you feel they are getting in under the brick and want to trench to that depth. It should not go below the footing of the home.
