Traditional / standard termite chemical barrier treatments are intended to keep Subterranean (ground) termites out of the structure. They will also keep termites from entering the structure and obtaining the moisture they require to survive.
Chemical barrier pesticides on the market today have very short half-lives, in some cases as little as 3-5 years. Baits designed for termites have challenged the idea of using a chemical barrier treatment as the sole method of controlling subterranean termites.
On the market, there are various termite baiting systems. Termites will find, feed on, and die if termite bait is placed directly into the ground around the outside of a structure. Termite bait system technology is constantly changing and improving.
Baiting termite colonies is a simple process that can also be used as a monitoring tool to detect termites in areas where they are not yet a problem.
Termite baits eliminate and control termites in situations where soil termiticides are ineffective (for example, near a body of water), there is a concern about pesticide use, or even in structures where soil treatments have failed.
Further Information
Subterranean (Ground) Termites live in the ground and build vertical tunnels that look like mud tubes above ground level to search for food.
Subterranean termites can tunnel through cracks in concrete, so slab homes are not immune to them. Subterranean termites will die if they are exposed to air for an extended period of time; tunnels are used for transporting food to the nest and for protection. Subterranean termites require soil contact to survive, whereas Drywood termites only require low moisture.
Coastal areas have a higher prevalence of drywood termites. These termites can be transported from one region to another in furniture. Drywood termites are frequently found in attic wood structures.
