Baiting is the most significant innovation to occur in subterranean termite control technology since the introduction of modern termite control chemicals in the 1950s. Until recently, the only methods available for subterranean termite control were barrier treatments using large amounts of environmentally persistent chemicals. Several alternative termite control strategies have been proposed and commercialized recently, however baiting is the one that promises to replace barrier treatments as the preferred method of subterranean termite control. The research that forms the foundation of termite baiting was conducted over 25 years ago. However, because barrier type products then available were very effective, termite baiting was never developed. However, baiting has finally been commercialized for several reasons. First, barrier treatment products now available are not as effective as these previously available products. Secondly, questions are beginning to be asked about the logic of routinely applying large amounts and under inhabited structures when effective alternatives such as baiting are now available. Baiting vs. Barriers Barriers Barrier treatments only exclude termites from a structure, they do not suppress or eliminate termites. Because they are not eliminated, termites are still able to probe beneath the barrier looking for gaps in the barrier, trying to find a way into the structure. If the barrier is not continuous and a gap is found, termites can penetrate the barrier and gain entry to the structure undetected. Additionally, currently available barrier treatment products are not as long-lasting or as effective at low concentrations as barrier treatment products, such as chlordane, that were banned in the 1980s. Even the most carefully applied barrier treatments do not always form continuous barriers. This means that gaps can be left in the barrier through which termites can invade the structure. Additionally, the strength of the barrier may deteriorate at one or more points allowing termites to infest the structure undetected at these weak points in the barrier. Forming a complete termite barrier under a structure is often not practical.
