The Hills District and North West Sydney combine leafy, established suburbs like Castle Hill and Baulkham Hills with some of Sydney's fastest-growing new areas around Box Hill, Schofields and Marsden Park. Bushland gullies, big trees and acreage sit right next to brand-new estates.
Common pests in the Hills and North West
- Termites. Bushland gullies and mature trees in the older Hills suburbs are high-risk for termites, and new homes need their termite management system kept clear. See termite inspections.
- Spiders, including funnel-webs in shaded, moist gardens near bushland. See spider control.
- Possums in roofs of homes surrounded by tall trees. See possum removal.
- Rodents and ants stirred up by building work in new estates. See rodents and ants.
New estates vs established homes
In the new estates, the common calls are ants, mice and spiders moving into freshly built homes. In established suburbs, it's more often termites, possums and funnel-webs. Either way, a yearly inspection and a spring general pest treatment keep most problems small.
