Keeping a Deanside termite barrier working
What owners do after handover that quietly bridges the barrier.
In short: Termite systems are installed by the builder and maintained by the owner.
The inspection zone
The slab edge is meant to stay visible so termite mud tubes can be seen. Paving and garden beds often cover it.
Weep holes and cladding
Soil or mulch over weep holes, or cladding too close to the ground, creates a hidden entry.
The notice
The durable notice in the meter box says what system was installed and when inspections are due.
Annual inspections
Most systems expect a timber pest inspection every year.
