Seasonal care & follow-up

Irrigation and your treated landscape

Understand how irrigation affects a treatment discussion and coordinate product guidance with the water needs of your plants.

Tell us how the landscape is watered

Irrigation is an important part of a property review, particularly where maintained gardens meet natural vegetation. Before application, show WTG which proposed areas receive overhead sprinklers, drip irrigation or occasional hand watering. Include the normal schedule and any known overspray. Those details help evaluate the proposed location and the care it will receive afterward.

What the manufacturer says

Komodo’s FAQ states that repeated saturation from sprinklers or irrigation can reduce the product’s efficacy. It recommends watering at the base of plants to avoid repeatedly saturating treated foliage. This is manufacturer guidance, not a guarantee of a particular service life. Confirm the instructions for the exact product used and the application proposed for your property.

Keep plant care in the decision

Do not let a general online description become an instruction to deprive plants of needed water. Discuss product guidance with WTG and your landscape or irrigation professional. If watering methods can be adjusted appropriately, agree on that plan; if they cannot, explain the constraint so treatment suitability and follow-up can be considered honestly.

Share changes after application

A repaired sprinkler, seasonal schedule adjustment or new planting bed can change the conditions around a treated area. Record what changed, where and when. Photos showing the irrigation pattern and affected vegetation are useful for a follow-up discussion. A wet-looking plant alone is not a measurement of remaining retardant performance.

Make instructions easy to pass along

If someone else maintains the grounds, include them in the handoff. Keep the treatment boundaries and relevant care instructions with irrigation records so the same information reaches every contractor. Ask WTG about the proposed approach before booking application; a good plan should fit how the landscape is actually cared for.
