do you need to trench

That is the recommended method when applying in soil against a foundation. I don't over do it, just drag an appropriate tool against the foundation to make a trench 3-4" wide by 3-4" deep, just enough to hold a heavy flow of liquid from a backpack sprayer. If you make the trench wider you might also like to pour the termiticide from a bucket. That's how I do it, but the instructions probably call for at least a 6" deep trench and typically about 4 gallons of mixed product for 10 linear feet to a depth of one foot. I've had good experience with Termidor SC (great for ants, too) but due to it's high cost I currently use Taurus SC in the 78 ounce bottle from Amazon. And, I've seen far less termite activity since I stopped paying professionals and started treating on my own. Good luck!

I don't trench, but I spray the entire yard only once a year and I have no bugs at all, no ants, this stuff also kills the mud bugs. I spray around the house and then spray in like a circle 8 in the yard, it does the trick for me.

I depends on what you are doing and where you are spraying. For protecting the foundation from the outside, you are supposed to trench so that it doesn't wash away in the rain/watering. If you are just doing a yearly spray around the base of your house and or fences, you don't need to trench, just spray. I can't access the foundation for most of my house on the outside so I sprayed my foundation under my house from the inside. The soil down there is very dry and porous so there is no need to trench.

I was remodeling my entire kitchen and the contractor did have to rework the plumbing. Though I'm not sure if it was required because of the depth of the sink. I absolutely love this sink though. I recommend it highly.

The dirt would leak out the vents, so you would need to line them. Otherwise, sure why not.

No. You wont need it! Beware to put a piece of solid wood below, because it is heavy. Enjoy!

No, you need to be careful not to apply too much pressure or you will cut yourself.

I don't. I'm careful to layer the material I put in it. After a few days of kitchen scraps and weeds, I add a couple shovels-full of old dead leaves. I aerate it by poking from the top with a metal rod once in a while.

Wet all pellets and fill the small trenches with water. There is no need to pour the excess water out because the pellets will absorb it all and expand. Once the pellets start to dry out it is easy to see then re-apply water. Some of mine dried out faster than others. I'm thinking it was about a week with the cover over top before needing more water - probably longer. It's kind of idiot proof to be honest. :)

The instructions say you do not. However, I think it depends greatly on your soil. If you already have very sandy or gravely soil that is already permeable, then it would probably be fine without gravel backfill. If you have yucky impermeable clay soil (like mine), then you would need the backfill and perhaps the fabric.

I don't know. I don't use it for digging. I am an insulation contractor. We drill holes in masonry to inject insulation. I love this drill.

It's not necessary, but if ground is rough I like a tarp for protection or if I know it's going to be very wet I like the added layer between me and the wet ground.

You dig the pointed end into to soil. It makes kind of a big hole and can damage the roots a bit.

You just have to bury it a bit deeper than the spike. I do it all the time.

Depends on what kind of damage. ....if have a big tear and all you want to do is seal out the dirt and water yes. But if you have structural damage no

My opinion is you could do both. If they got all muddy from the garden, just wash the outside off and you are good to go.

R.B. .. As far as I know you should be able to use regular line. They also give you extra lines and are very easy to install.. do your self a favor and get one of these.I have a fenced in back yard and this thing is great,no more dragging traps or trips to the dump with 50 bags of leaves. but be careful the bags can get a little heavy after the leaves are shredded

Just dig the ground out. I didn't cut off any. One hole was deeper than the other.

Has to be worked into the soil. At least with a hand aerator. Helped some, not a great deal, but my lawn has an awful lot of standing water when it rains. Am told I really need to dig a trench and put in some type of drainage. Too much expense and heavy work for me so I went with the pearls.
