I was wondering if I have to dig a trench for a mobile home infested with drywood termites?

The mobile home is on it's own foundation and has a huge crawl space underneath the home. But all around the home is rocks and dirt, hard to dig anything, like a trench. Would like to use Termidor SC. Thanks, Staci David

Answer:

Drywood termites are all contained in a piece of wood.  They do not go back to the ground like subterranean termites.  For Termidor to work on drywood termites, you have to drill directly into the piece of wood the termites are in and inject Termidor into the wood.  Termidor does not penetrate into wood, so you have to inject it into the center.  It has to touch the termites to work, but the benefit is that it only has to contact a few termites, and then they can pass it on to the rest of the colony.  To treat for subterranean termites using Termidor, you will need to trench all around the skirt just like you would around a home's foundation, and then you will need to trench around all of the blocks that are holding the trailer up, just like you would a home's piers in a crawlspace.
