Termite Safety & WDO Reporting

Before drilling and rodding soil along a foundation for a liquid termiticide application, the EPA-approved label directs the applicator to first locate and identify HVAC ducts, plumbing, sewer, and electrical conduits, and to avoid wells and cisterns. What is the primary reason these label directions must be followed?

• They are non-binding best-practice suggestions an applicator may skip if the customer signs a waiver
• The label is legally enforceable, so following these directions is required by federal law to prevent contamination, injury, and property damage ✓
• They apply only to new construction pre-treatments, not to existing structures
• They are intended solely to speed up the job, with no bearing on safety or legality
