In most cases using a small amount of soil on top of treated soils won't be an issue. If too much soil is used, the termites could go around the treated soil and tunnel around it. The label says to treat the top soil as it is being replaced into the trench to keep this from happening. Treating the bottom of a 3-4" trench and then filling it with the soil also creates this problem. The easy cure is to just spray the soil after it is replaced, or to spray it as it is being replaced.
As long as the soil has dried the chemical will dry and bond to the soil. If it does not dry, then there is a chance of dilution or it being washed away. If you treated at a rate of 4 gallons per 10 linear feet and it did not rain enough saturate or leave water standing on the trench, don't worry about it. If the area flooded, etc, then I would retreat that area completely. Here is a link to the label - http://epestcontrol.com/images/Produc...
