Physical Termite Barriers: Why They're Not Enough Protection

New homes with physical termite barriers still face significant risk. These barriers don't stop termites—they only force visible mud tube construction, requiring constant vigilance.

Critical Limitations

• Not Termite-Proof: Designed to prevent concealed access, not block termites entirely
• Design Vulnerabilities: Construction changes often compromise barrier integrity
• Installation Gaps: Rushed or incomplete installation creates entry points
• Post-Construction Compromise: Later renovations frequently breach barriers

Required Ongoing Protection

• Annual Professional Inspections: Licensed timber pest technicians
• Monthly Homeowner Checks: Visual monitoring for mud tubes
• Immediate Reporting: Contact installation company at first sign of breach
