A protective barrier for providing protection to the 5 foundation and lower part of the walls of a building includes a first layer of a first material having resistance to pest attack, typically termite resistance, and a second layer of a second material having a water and/or moisture resistant layer for preventing the ingress 10 and/or transmission of water, typically a water impermeable membrane and/or damp proof course, in which the second layer is provided with an indicator for assessing the state of the first layer with respect to its continuing pesticidal property to determine the efficacy 15 of the protective barrier. One form of the indicator is a generally V-shaped channel through the second layer. The advantage of the protective barrier is that the different materials of the layer are compatible with each other to provide an effective barrier which has more than a single 20 protective function, by being typically termite resistant and water resistant, as well as being a damp proof course whilst providing a visual indicator of the continuing efficacy of the barrier. 6241738 1 (GHMallers) P98381 .AU.1 JMC
