Examples are illustrative; always follow product label rates.

Always verify label directions, permitted use, and environmental protections for your region.
Accurate volume planning reduces under-application and costly rework. For perimeter trench treatments, measure the full boundary around beds, planters, sheds, and hardscape joints where activity is suspected. The calculator multiplies perimeter length by your chosen liters-per-length rate, then applies an allowance factor to cover real site losses. Consistent measurement practices help you compare multiple zones and stage mixing in manageable batches.
Different garden situations require different approaches. Area-based soil treatments suit broad beds or lawn edges, while slab injection supports patios and pathways where termites travel beneath hard surfaces. Wood spray estimates help when treating exposed timber structures such as pergolas and raised-bed frames. Use label-approved rates for the chosen method, and align spacing or coverage with site access, soil texture, and moisture conditions.
Once the finished solution volume is known, the mix split becomes straightforward. Enter the concentrate dose as milliliters per liter, and the calculator converts it into total concentrate needed in both liters and milliliters. This supports quick checks against container sizes and inventory on hand. Water required is reported separately to simplify batching and reduce mixing errors in the field.
Allowance factors account for overlap, spillage, uneven trench depth, and absorption differences. Sandy soils may drain faster, while clay can slow infiltration and require more careful placement. Obstacles such as roots, stones, and irrigation lines often increase time and waste. A modest allowance, typically 5–15%, provides a practical buffer without encouraging over-application. Adjust based on crew experience and job complexity.
Termite products must be applied responsibly to protect plants, pets, and water sources. Avoid runoff toward drains, ponds, and vegetable beds unless the label permits it. Record the method, rate, and treated area for future monitoring and follow-up inspections. Exporting results to CSV or PDF helps standardize reporting, supports compliance checks, and improves consistency across repeated seasonal treatments.
Choose perimeter trench for boundary barriers, area treatment for broad soil zones, slab injection for patios, and wood spray for exposed timber. Follow label allowances for each method.
Use the rate specified on your product label for the target surface and termite type. If the label offers a range, select the rate that matches soil conditions and infestation severity.
Allowance accounts for losses from overlap, spillage, uneven trenches, and absorption differences. It helps ensure you have enough finished solution without stopping work to remix.
Yes. Select the imperial option and enter feet or square feet. The tool converts inputs internally and reports results in liters and gallons for easy mixing and purchasing.
The tool estimates hole count from treated area and spacing, then multiplies by volume per hole. This provides a planning total; actual hole placement should follow site conditions and label rules.
No. It estimates mix volumes only. Always follow label directions, local regulations, and safety practices. For complex infestations or structural risks, consult a licensed pest professional.
