TL;DR
A liquid termiticide trench is a narrow channel dug against the foundation, typically 6 inches wide and deep, into which a measured volume of termiticide is applied to create a continuous treated soil barrier. Standard label rates call for about 4 gallons of finished solution per 10 linear feet for each foot of depth to the footing, and the excavated soil is treated as it is backfilled.
