I understand trenching is the best. But if trenching is an issue and can’t be done, will rodding alone provide some protection?
Rodding is a technique many companies use to get the Termidor deeper in the ground than the normal 6-inch trench that you should dig. Many homeowners who decide to treat themselves do not do the rodding part, but if you can rod then of course, it is better than not doing it at all. Basically, after you dig your 6-inch deep trench, you would take a "rod", or a piece of rebar, metal, or anything that you can make an additional hole in the bottom of the trench every 12 inches apart. You can hammer or push your "rod" into the soil every 12 inches apart and try to get a couple of feet deeper. When you pour the 4 gallons per 10 lineal feet into the trench, the rod holes will allow the Termidor to quickly get that much deeper and provide a little extra protection. Even when this is not done though, Termidor will still provide you with the best form of protection money can buy.
