What is the recommended amount of termiticide to apply for 10 linear feet to a depth of footing?

The recommended amount of termiticide to apply for a treatment program is often guided by established industry standards and manufacturer’s instructions. In the case of applying termiticide for a linear distance of 10 feet, the typical dosage suggests that a minimum of 4 gallons should be used when treating to the depth of the footing.

The rationale for this recommendation is based on ensuring adequate pest control and effective soil barrier formation against termites. The application needs to penetrate sufficiently into the soil to create a protective zone around the foundation where termites could otherwise gain access. Using 4 gallons allows for the proper distribution and soil saturation necessary to effectively deter subterranean termites from breaching this protective barrier.

While higher or lower amounts might be appropriate in specific scenarios, such as varying soil conditions or specific product formulations, the standard recommendation in most cases adheres to this guideline, making 4 gallons the correct amount for a 10-foot linear distance at the depth of the footing.
