Termite barriers in Donnybrook and how they get bridged
The system is present. That does not mean it works.
In short: Bridging is our most common serious pest finding in these estates.
What is installed
A physical barrier beneath the external walls, placed at frame stage before the walls go up.
How it fails
Soil, render, paving or a garden bed carried over the top, letting termites cross unseen.
Breached during construction
We have recorded protection breached at lock-up, cut or penetrated by a following trade.
Cladding clearance
The gap between cladding and ground is what keeps the barrier visible and working.
The notice
It belongs in the meter box and records what was installed and when.
