Humphrey from Oakland, Ca writes

Rainy season is coming, should we treat asap or wait till dry season. Will rain wash away or dilute Termidor?

Since Termidor claims to be effective for 10 years, will future rain affect the effectiveness of the chemical?

Answer:

According to BASF the only times you cannot treat is if precipitation is currently happening or if the soil is over-saturated with water, frozen, or in conditions where runoff or soil movement from the area or treatment site will occur.  It would be great to not have rain after your termite treatment, but certainly not something that is “needed (or a must)” for the product to be efficacious or provide long-term residual activity/structural protection.
