Answer:

Since you have a French drain in place you would not be able to trench and treat along that side of the home at all, or within 2 feet (24 inches) of the french drain in general. You also cannot use it within 5 feet of the sump pit and pump, per Taurus SC label. Per the label:
Identify and locate French drains, then apply Taurus SC in the following manner:
1. Unplug the sump pump. Inspect the sump pit for water. If no water is present, keep the sump pump unplugged while making the treatment.
2. If water is in the pump pit, unplug the sump pump and remove four cups of water from the pit. Mark the water level. Wait 10 minutes then check the water level in the pit. If the water level has risen, there is too much seepage to make a treatment. If the water level has not risen, a treatment can be made as long as the sump pump remains unplugged. During application, check the sump pump pit every few minutes for the presence of termiticide dilution. If dilution is detected, stop the treatment immediately and remove all dilution from the pump pit before plugging the pump back in. Dispose of the dilution from the sump pump pit as directed by this label in the "Storage and Disposal" section.
