Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer For Soil & Turf states on the product label that it will kill workers and winged reproductive termites that come into contact with treated areas. Use of this type of product alone to kill termites should not be considered a substitute for soil treatment of subterranean termites. You can use Termidor SC to prevent termites from infesting your home. If a colony moves in, this product will eradicate them by transfer kill. We have a guide here that would be helpful.
If earthworms come into contact with the area treated with Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer For Soil & Turf, they could be affected the same way other insects will be affected but are pretty protected with the mucus on their bodies. Typically earthworms tend to stay several inches below the surface and remain hidden away from insecticide applications, but if they do end up surfacing in treated areas they will be eliminated. For the most part, insecticides are not selective.
Per the manufacturer, Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer for Soil & Turf only requires 1/4 - 1/2" of water after application which the ground readily absorbs and this activates the product. If you apply the granules to an already saturated ground, then it won't be able to absorb the additional necessary water required to activate the product. They recommend that you apply this product to dry soil for best results. If you would like to speak with the manufacturer directly, you can reach them at 1-877- 229-3724, for additional information.
