Pest Control and Exterminator Service in Abington Township, PA

Post-war Roslyn capes and the Old York Road corridor

Capes, ranches and twins from the 1950s commonly have wood sills on block foundations, enclosed porches and finished basements. Termites reach those spots first, often unseen behind paneling.

Shopping centers and restaurants along Old York Road and Easton Road generate waste that supports mice and Norway rats, which then move into nearby houses and garages.

Housing changes from section to section. Roslyn, Crestmont and much of Willow Grove are dense blocks of post-war capes, twins and ranches on small lots, while Rydal, Meadowbrook and the Abington side of Huntingdon Valley hold larger stone and brick houses on wooded lots. The small-lot neighborhoods see mice traveling along shared twin walls and roaches arriving with groceries and deliveries; the wooded sections see carpenter ants, squirrels in attics and ticks.

Pennypack Creek and its tributaries cut through the township's eastern side, and Lorimer Park and Alverthorpe Park add woods and open ground beside houses. Creek-side yards hold mosquitoes into September, Norway rats burrow along stream banks behind commercial lots, and the deep shade under old oaks keeps roofs and window trim wet enough for carpenter ants to nest.

From Media to Abington via the Turnpike

We take I-476 north, the Turnpike east and come in by Route 611. Thom and his team check foundations, basements and garages during a free inspection, and the written quote follows.

Abington Hospital, Penn State Abington and the Willow Grove corridor

Abington Township includes Roslyn, Willow Grove and parts of Glenside, and is home to Abington Hospital and Penn State Abington. Its neighbors include Jenkintown, and Roslyn, one of its own communities, has a separate page. Old York Road carries Abington Hospital and the shops of the township center, and Easton Road leads to the Willow Grove Park mall. Penn State Abington's campus is on Woodland Road, and Abington Senior High School anchors the Abington School District, whose buildings follow Pennsylvania's Act 35 integrated pest management rules. SEPTA's Warminster Line stops at Ardsley, Roslyn, Crestmont and Willow Grove, while the West Trenton Line serves Noble, Rydal and Meadowbrook. Work in a township this size is never one kind: termite checks on 1950s capes, rat and fly programs for restaurants, scheduled service around medical offices, and squirrel or carpenter ant calls from the wooded sections.
