Comparison of the two treatment approaches

Subterranean termites are the species that matters in southwest Missouri, and they reach a building from the soil rather than flying in. That single fact determines everything about treatment: you are creating or breaking a connection between the ground and the timber, not spraying an insect you can see. There are two established ways to do it, and they suit different buildings.

Soil treatment compared with a baiting system
ItemLiquid soil treatmentIn-ground baiting system
How it works A treated zone in the soil around and under the foundation that termites cannot cross without picking up the product Stations in the soil deliver a growth regulator that foraging workers carry back, eliminating the colony
Speed Protects the structure as soon as the zone is complete Slower — depends on foragers finding stations and recruiting to them
Best suited to Buildings with accessible foundation soil and an active infestation needing a fast barrier Slabs and additions where drilling is impractical, and long-term monitoring situations
Disruption Trenching, and drilling through slab or hard surfaces where needed Minimal — stations are installed in the ground and inspected periodically
Ongoing requirement Periodic re-inspection; the zone degrades over years Regular station inspection is part of how it works, not an extra
Limitation Gaps in the zone are gaps in the protection, so thoroughness matters more than product Does not protect the building while the colony is still being eliminated
