Neshaminy Creek Lots and 1970s Wood Framing

In 1970s homes, original sill plates, porch posts and deck ledgers have spent about fifty years near damp soil. Eastern subterranean termites swarm on warm spring days here, and wood touching soil or mulch is where they get in.

Low ground near the creek holds moisture after rain, feeding summer mosquitoes, while wooded edges and park land give mice and ticks cover right up to backyard fences.

The North and West branches of the Neshaminy Creek come together in Chalfont, and streets near that confluence sit on low ground with clay soil that drains slowly after rain. That soil stays damp against foundations for days, the condition subterranean termites and carpenter ants favor, and humid basements on those lots give camel crickets, millipedes and silverfish a steady home.

Houses built around 1973 often have wood siding, original window frames and decks that have been rebuilt at least once on footings set straight into clay. Each fall, stink bugs crowd onto sunny siding and field mice move up from the creek meadows. Older houses near the center of the borough add stone foundations and porch framing set close to grade, where both termites and mice find easy access.

From Media up Route 202 to Chalfont

We take I-476 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, then work north to Route 202, about 55 minutes each way. Thom and his team book your slot in advance, inspect the foundation, basement or crawlspace, garage and yard for free, and leave you a written quote before any treatment starts.

Doylestown, New Britain and the Peace Valley Area

Chalfont has a stop on SEPTA's Lansdale/Doylestown Line and borders New Britain Township. We also cover Doylestown Township and Warrington Township, where similar 1970s neighborhoods bring the same termite and rodent questions. Route 202 runs through the borough as Butler Avenue and meets Route 152 near the center of town, and the train station puts Chalfont on a single line with Lansdale and Doylestown. Peace Valley Park, with Lake Galena and its nature center, lies just north in New Britain Township, and the creek corridors around it run through wooded bottomland on the way into Chalfont. Local families are served by the Central Bucks School District. With so many owner-occupied homes on creek or park-edge lots, the work here is mostly seasonal: termite inspections on houses now passing fifty, mosquito and tick treatment for yards near the water, and mouse sealing in garages once fall arrives. Shops and offices along Butler Avenue add occasional rodent and fly calls.
