It’s best to schedule an inspection after any major flooding or landscaping changes. Regular checks, especially in high-risk areas will help ensure long-term protection and compliance with your treatment warranty.
Flooding
-
New or shifted soil may not be treated with Termidor, creating vulnerabilities in your termite defense. A BASF Accredited Applicator can identify and re-treat these areas to restore full protection.
-
Yes. Termites thrive in moist environments, and post-flood conditions can lead to elevated termite activity. This makes it even more important to confirm that your barrier is intact and functioning properly.
-
Flooding can shift soil and disturb landscaping, potentially creating pathways for termites to bypass the treated zone. A post-flood inspection ensures your barrier is still continuous and effective—and helps maintain your warranty.
-
No. Termidor binds tightly to organic matter in the soil and does not dissolve easily in water. Even after heavy flooding, It typically remains effective. However, soil movement can create untreated gaps, so a professional inspection is still recommended.
