Around my house there are a few areas that are challenging to trench around 6 inches wide and deep along the perimeter. When using Dominion 2L, what are the concerns if there was no trench, but the 4 gallons per 10 feet were poured along the base slowly enough to allow soaking along the base with minimal runoff from the base of the foundation?
Simply pouring a termiticide such as Dominion 2L around the foundation will not provide ample protection from termites. There is no guarantee how deep the product will absorb into the ground, and you need a termiticide at least 6 inches deep for termite protection. Another option would be to create holes using a rod or dowel that is at least 6-12 inches deep every 12 - 18 inches, then you would still be appling 4 gallons of solution per 10 feet by pouring the product evenly into each hole.
Otherwise, bait stations such as the Advance Termite Bait Stations are placed 2-4 feet out from the structure, outside the dripline of the roof.
