Termites continue to be Arizona’s number one urban pest. Factors that influence the persistence of termiticides are constantly under investigation. High pH has been identified as a potential concern for persistence in termiticides. I studied the influence of pH 11 water on five termiticides applied to commercial ABC fill 10 months post-treatment. In general, the addition of pH 11 water had little influence on termiticide persistence under Arizona conditions. Initially plots treated with Ph 11 water had higher residues than those that did not receive the treated water; over time these differences diminished.
