Termite risk and pest inspections in Mickleham VIC
Homes across the Hume corridor are built with a termite management system and a notice recording it goes in the meter box. The most serious pest finding our inspectors record nearby is a barrier that has been bridged, usually by soil, render or landscaping, so termites can pass over it undetected. The system is present and doing nothing.

A bridged barrier is worse than no barrier, because it creates false confidence.
Soil and garden beds banked against brickwork are the usual cause.
Trees close to the foundation put roots where you do not want them.
The notice in the meter box records the system installed and when.
AS 4349.3 reports evidence and risk. It is never a guarantee.
