Termite Shields (Ant Capping)

I am renovating my 1950s house and have noticed that the single brick piers have full termite shields but the long extended brick piers facing the front of the house have half termite shields. Is this normal (no place for pictures)?

This forum is too hard for me to use, I have attached some photos, thank you.

Sashley,

If you're still in need of the advice, when ant capping is used as the sole deterrent to termite attack, the caps must protrude 100 mm past the edges of the stumps / brick piers and the outer 50 mm of the overhangs must turn down at 45 degrees (often depicted incorrectly and smaller on advice sites). I believe this gives you at least 2 years against even the most determined attacks. They are a much more economical way of preventing termite attack in the long-run... by far. Warranties on deterrent spray 'installations' are $150 every 6 months in perpetuity PLUS initial cost and re-spraying every 5 years at something like $1000 a pop. You should be ahead after about 5 - 7 years. Hope this helps.
