Hello @Wes, maybe you can answer a question for me please, please.

When I bought a house (an old, used house) the first thing we did was fixed it including digging out the old foundation plantings and putting new soil, new plants, new mulch.
A month later here comes the 'regular guy' to spray the house for the life-time follow-up treatment for termites which was contracted by the previous owners (yep, we were the famous gullible 'first-time buyers' who had no clue!)

Anyway, my later research informed me that once the termite treatment is applied into the soil around the foundation of a house, we are NOT supposed to dig or we ruin the effect of the termiticide (is that the right word?).

So here is my question: did my gardening efforts with the foundation plantings negate the work of 'the termite guy'?

(I don't live there anymore; this question is just for my peace of mind and so others can learn from my mistakes.)
Thank You!
