Termite risk in Macquarie Fields
Many homes in Macquarie Fields date from the 1970s and 80s, so original termite barriers are long past their working life unless they've been renewed. Homes near the river bushland are at higher risk. An inspection will show whether you need a new barrier, a baiting system or just a clear-out of garden beds and timber against the house.
